ed note–Your tax dollars at work. Maybe if they spent more time trying to catch Israeli spies getting America involved in wars in the Middle East instead of playing porn-star wannabes we could get back top the business of being a free people again.
Bosses at the FBI are worried about a different kind of “undercover work.”
The Federal Bureau of Investigation — which touts an agency motto of “fidelity, bravery, integrity” — is battling a sexting scandal. A newly issued report finds its workers have been involved in a “rash of sexting cases” using government-issued devices.
“We’re hoping that getting the message out in the quarterlies is going to teach people, as well as their supervisors … you can’t do this stuff,” said FBI Assistant Director Candice Will, in a CNN report. “When you are given an FBI BlackBerry, it’s for official use. It’s not to text the woman in another office who you found attractive or to send a picture of yourself in a state of undress.”
The report, which was distributed within FBI offices as a means of shaming employees into policy compliance, spoke of sexting instances of sending naked photos and of paying for sex in a massage parlor, CNN reports.
Between 2010 and 2012, the FBI has fired 85 employees for various disciplinary violations, CNN reports.

I really don’t get it. Why are there so many, ‘sexting”, scandals? What makes anyone think photographing their privates is okay? — and sending the pics out to others? -are they NUTTS?
When did people lose all abandon and think this is or was a good idea?
I’ll never comprehend the point of this… Am sure I’d prefer nobody, “sext”, me. Of course, I cannot think of anyone I know thinking it’s an okay thing, either– thankfully!

How many have been FIRED? They have “opened” (get it?) themselves to blackmail. As usual, no one is actually punished.

Well Well!! What can be said about this? There is a lot I could say.
But the only thing that sticks out in my mind. (NO STICKS OUT WASN’T A STUPID PUN!)
Is what do you expect from a organization who’s founder was J Edgar Hoover.
Need I say more?
