Andy9o8 0 #1 March 21, 2006 Now what the hell's wrong with this picture? http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/03/20/fbi.email.ap/index.html So in the year 2006, 4 1/2 years after 9/11, the Federal government can't afford to give all FBI agents in the field e-mail accounts? Gee, you don't suppose the Feds are letting "something else" suck up their money, do you? Can anyone say "ripple effect?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Our FBI budget is so SNIFF SMALL that our poor agents can't even have E-MAIL address. SNIFF. We need a few million to fix this travesty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unformed 0 #3 March 21, 2006 Well of course. We're almost 9 trillion dollars in debt. We've got to keep a close watch on our finances. It's called BUDGETING, brother.This ad space for sale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy9o8 0 #4 March 21, 2006 QuoteWe're almost 9 trillion dollars in debt. Yeah, I know. My point being: what do you suppose is one of the biggest items (lately) causing that figure? My real point is to question the priorities. We all know what's sucking up the federal govt's money (now don't we?) Frankly, I'd rather see the money better spent on giving FBI agents the 21st Century tools needed to keep my children safe at home. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelpdiver 2 #6 March 21, 2006 this story stinks and I don't believe it for a moment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy9o8 0 #7 March 21, 2006 Really? Why? I re-read the story after you posted, just to see if the sourcing was shaky. I'm willing to discount Schumer's remarks, because he's partisan. But the story, by the Associated Press, quotes, by name, Mark Mershon, head of the FBI's New York office, as he spoke to a New York Daily News editorial board meeting. And the 2 (separate) FBI spokeswomen seem to impliedly confirm the report. Unless you were being facaetious, I don't see why you doubt the story.

kelpdiver 2 #9 March 21, 2006 email is one of the cheapest costs of having an agent. If they don't fund that, it's by choice. Or someone's ass needs to be tossed on the street. it's bullshit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
