An incident that allegedly occurred in Israel early in July has resulted in legal action against a US Secret Service agent.

The complainant, Tamar Ben Haim, maintains that she was assaulted by one of two men that had exited a bar and confronted her on the street. After contacting police the individual was arrested, identified and later sent back to the US. The name of the agent has yet to be released and the US Department of Justice refuses to comment on the case.
This isn't the first time that members of the agency that protects the most important figures in US government and investigates counterfeit money have been accused of serious misbehavior in foreign countries. Perhaps it's too much to expect that these low lifes would represent their country with any kind of class. Worse yet is that their employer refuses to identify them publicly. Perhaps they can get away with this kind of behavior in a country that depends on US support for its very existence. It probably wouldn't be accepted in a place like Brazil or China.
It's also notable that US political figures have always made it a point to remark on the fact that totalitarian countries rely on secret police to stay in power.
