Litigation. Guaranteed to reduce humiliation.

Former Special Agent Lee Paige, who would certainly have been mentioned here had he had the decency to make a total idiot of himself and subsequently end up on the net after the 10th of January, is suing the DEA, for which he used to work, claiming his notoriety renders him useless as an undecover operative and that he no longer has the respect of his colleagues after shooting himself in the leg in front of a load of children. (It's possible that even the children were able to discern the delicious irony inherent in Paige injuring himself immediately after stating, "I am the only one in the room professional enough to use one of these.")

Brilliant. Clearly the DEA is at fault here, since there's nothing they like better than spending many hundreds of thousands of dollars training a man like Paige for undercover work and then blowing his cover with one of the Net's most downloaded videos. This is transparently a DEA conspiracy, and it's not in the remotest sense likely that some guy at DEA stole the tape against express orders, or at the very least against clearly stated protocol, and put it on the Net either to settle a grudge or just for a laugh. Certainly the DEA needs to identify this guy and fire, and probably prosecute, him. But, given the almost autistic level of bureaucracy and offical paranoia for which the US' institutions are renowned, it's clearly a waste of money and time to pursue this case, and it's hard not to conclude that Paige is simply compounding his humiliation with a blind, instinctive swing at the first thing he can think of.
