WASHINGTON -- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is "genuinely offended" by reports of misconduct by private guards working for the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan, a State Department spokesman said Thursday.
Those who engaged in such activities will be dismissed from their posts, spokesman P.J. Crowley said.
Allegations of lewd behavior and sexual misconduct among the private security contractors guarding the embassy surfaced including reports of threats, intimidation and guards and supervisors in various stages of nudity at parties flowing with alcohol.
Clinton "is very displeased that this could have happened and that this could have happened without our knowledge," Crowley said.
