The agency has better things to do? There we go again into the logical fallacies. Want some facts? Here is the 2005 Budget:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2005/justice.html
The FBI is the lead agency within DOJ for combating terrorism. Since September 11th, the FBI has made preventing terrorist attacks its number one priority and has instituted a number of organizational, procedural, and resource allocation changes to support this goal. In addition, it has received significant resource increases in recent years, with funding rising from $3.0 billion in 2000 to approximately $4.5 billion in 2004, plus over $1 billion in supplemental funding in 2002 and 2003. The Budget proposes $5.1 billion for the FBI in 2005. Among the principal increases are:
$38 million to improve the FBI's intelligence capability, including a new Office of Intelligence to coordinate intelligence requirements and collection, additional language translators, and additional surveillance staff;
$60 million for counterterrorism investigations;
$55 million to combat cybercrime; and
$52 million to protect the United States from foreign government intelligence operations and espionage.
---------
Looks like a bunch of increases to me. Cybercrime budget was increased as well as terrorism. Guess what? We have the money to make huge increases in everything. The government goes after these people themselves.
I never said they didn't have the time to deal with it. They just have a lot of these complaints to deal with. I'm not wrong. Pretty much I'm right about everything in this thread.
