Security clearances suspended for military personnel tied to prostitution scandal Apr 23rd 2012, 16:44 Defense Secretary Leon Panetta reportedly announced Monday that security clearances have been suspended for servicemembers allegedly involved in the Colombia prostitution scandal, in the first disciplinary action to be announced on the military side.  The move follows a similar decision by the Secret Service to suspend clearances for its own agents who were implicated. A total of 11 military members and a dozen Secret Service agents so far have been tied to the alleged misconduct in early April ahead of President Obama's visit to Cartagena.  Panetta discussed the case Monday with reporters en route to Colombia. Reuters first reported on the comments.  Panetta's trip to Colombia and other South American countries was already scheduled and is not related to the ongoing investigation into the prostitution scandal.
