No e-mail for G-men

CNET News.com reports on government efficiency:

Monetary constraints have prevented the FBI from handing out a new technology to some of its agents: e-mail accounts.

"As ridiculous as this might sound, we have real money issues right now, and the government is reluctant to give all agents and analysts dot-gov accounts," Mark Mershon, assistant director in charge of the agency's New York City office, told The Daily News.

It will take until at least the end of the year before the 2,000 agents in the New York area all get .gov accounts, the paper said.

Um, yeah.
