host: we're talking to ron kessler about the tactical operations unit. our focus this week is looking inside the fbi. mr. kessler said the budget might be around $40 million. we do not know exactly what the budget is for this unit. the fbi budget request overall for the agency for 2012 was about $8.1 billion. in fy 2011, the budget is broken down among the different departments. we did find for the 2012 request line items for electronic surveillance. it was about $4.5 million for 13 new positions. you can see the current services with 45 positions. that includes five agents at a cost of about $40 million. we go next to bloomfield, conn.. caller: my question is why are they releasing this? he only wants to sell a book. why would he detail operations so that the enemy would know what the fbi is doing question of these are people working to defend your country. host: what do you think the motivation was for making this transparent? guest: i think they trust me to tell a straight story. the head of all this said he thinks people should know how their money is
