The secret service agents that allowed the now-infamous party crashers Michaele and Tareq Salahi into the White House state dinner last week are now on administrative leave. Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan announced this today at a House Homeland Security Department hearing, where he did not rule out firing the agents.

House members commended Sullivan and his agency for taking full responsibility for the security breach, but drilled him repeatedly on the threat posed to the President and Indian Prime Minister.
