FBI goes on massive hiring blitz

[Dulcinea]

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Despite a bleak economic environment featuring wide-ranging layoffs and rising unemployment, the nation's premier law enforcement agency is touting "one of the largest hiring blitzes in our 100-year history."

The FBI has posted openings for 850 special agents and more than 2,100 professional support personnel. Officials say it's the largest FBI job posting since immediately after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

The FBI's unexpectedly large number of job openings results more from attrition and a wave of retirements than from growing government appropriations, bureau officials told CNN.

1. Heh

Maybe the realize they need the new badges to investigate the 8 years of abuses of this admin that involved the old badges, who are taking retirement in the hopes of not being scrutinized.

One can hope, can't one.

2. The rats are leaving in mass but the ship isn't sinking

IMO this is very good. A whole new batch of people to get the FBI back into PROPER form and not just some highly Partisan Department as it currently is.

Only those who wear a t-shirt with a peace symbol logo who in turn strike the first blow are the ones who ruin the credibility.
