Obama Boosts Justice Dept.’s National Security Funding

From The Washington Post’s budget breakdown-ery:

The FBI will get an additional $145 million to boost its national security efforts and the Justice Department’s National Security Division will receive $100 million more to protect against terrorist threats and cyber attacks, according to President Obama’s proposed budget.

The White House is allotting $73 million for the transfer and prosecution of nearly 200 detainees remaining at the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, which the president has pledged to close.

Bad news for those hoping to stop Obama’s increased emphasis on the civilian and law-enforcement elements of national security.
