So, according to Nightline, the director of the FBI wants to take agents away from other departments and move them into counterterrorism.

Here's the number of agents they want to take away from various departments:

Drugs - 400
White-collar crime -59
Violent crime - 59

Then I guess they'll train about 500 new agents, because they said they want to change their counterterrorism department from 1,078 agents to 2,100 agents.

Personally, I don't mind them not having enough agents around to fight drugs. But taking agents away from the violent crimes department is definitely not a good idea.

I mean, i'm glad they want to be a counterterrorism army -- but what about serial killers?
