Yes, assault. That is what 'gate crashing' is. It is assault of the intention of the celebration and the people involved aren't secure in their dignity, intention or person. It doesn't matter that there was NO 'battery.' There is a paparazzi involved and I don't care if the paparazzi is an amateur. Can't be that much of an amateur. Who dressed them? Got them their costumes, etc.Who was taking the pictures? Does the GOP know about this? Was Rove involved? Did the reality TV show make suggestions to this misdirection? I mean for real here. Who besides the gate crasher and their Paparazzi thought this was a good idea and was involved in its planning?Who told them how to get into the guest line? Were the magnatometers working correctly? And has anyone checked with the CIA to know if this wasn't an official act to check the 'readiness' of the Secret Service?Charges need to be filed, for minimally trespassing and assault. This reality TV stuff is out of control. People are breaking the law to benefit their 'identity' crisis to insure their place in a TV show. This is 'nuts.' Kids are now from broken homes or with parents facing prison and some nut cases from Virginia try to exploit a State Dinner for the sake of promoting their stardom. image made from Michaele Salahi's Facebook page shows a photo of Tareq Salahi, left, Vice President Joe Biden and Michaele Salahi, right, at the White House state dinner in Washington on Tuesday Nov. 24, 2009 Photo: APSecret Service strained as leaders face more threats (click here)Report questions its role in financial investigations

Globe Staff / October 18, 2009 WASHINGTON - The unprecedented number of death threats against President Obama, a rise in racist hate groups, and a new wave of antigovernment fervor threaten to overwhelm the US Secret Service, according to government officials and reports, raising new questions about the 144-year-old agency’s overall mission.......If there were an evaluation of the service’s two missions, it might be determined that it is ineffective . . . to conduct its protection mission and investigate financial crimes,’’ according to a inter nal report issued in August by the Congressional Research Service....Where else did their photographer go? Were there more than one set of people that got by the entrance to the State Dinner? Did they make it into the White House and Obama's office? Was National Security breached and to what degree? What else did they get pictures of and how compromised was the White House? What is the website still doing up?
This isn't a game. This was a State Dinner with foreign dignitaries? Where are the pictures with the guest? I am sure they exist. This was a major breach of security at an official government function. This wasn't just about having dinner. This is honoring the guest that came to the USA for purposes of promoting foreign policy. This is a major insult to the security of the nation that took place at the White House. Every Secret Service agent now seeing to the well being of the President and Vice President has to be replaced. Their careers should be over.
