We've said it before and we'll say it again: "Security badly done is bad security."
The DS mentality that routinely allows those who break rules in the process of "getting their man(or woman)," to do so without repercussions, not only allows DS to strip innocent FSOs of their security clearances without due process, but also allows the "strippers" of those clearances to rise through the system unchecked.
Case in point: PB. A former special agent in the office of Professional Responsibility. While in that office, PB had a reputation as a cowboy who routinely lied, cheated and stole his way into achieving - by any means necessary - a "successful adverse outcome" for his target. CFSO complained about him to the OIG. Others complained as well. He was the subject of a complaint written to the FSJ by an outsider so outraged that he not only complained to DS, but also felt the need to write (the letter of complaint to DS can be seen here).
DS did nothing.
Where is PB now?
He's the yipiayay kayay cowboy in charge of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security's Office of Dignitary Protection.
If that office rings a bell, it's because its been in the news.
One of PB's subordinates shot and killed a man in a McDonalds in Hawaii the other day.
We don't know all the facts. It could have been self defense. The man might have been reaching for his burger.
But we do know this.
The men and women of Dignitary Protection should be (and in many cases are) the best of the best.
They should have the discipline necessary to avoid killing civilians, even in self defense. That's what flesh wounds are for.
And rules.
And oversight.
But when you have cowboys as Office Directors - and DS higher-ups who shrug their shoulders at rule-breaking as long as the desired results are obtained - they may not be conveying that kind of restraint to their troops.
That is security badly done.
