(Reuters) - A significant number of FBI employees cheated on an exam about new rules for terrorism and criminal investigations and for collecting foreign intelligence, according to a Justice Department report released Monday.

The report by Inspector General Glenn Fine found that some FBI employees improperly consulted with others while taking the exam, and others used or distributed answer sheets or study guides that essentially provided the answers to the test.

A few FBI employees, including several supervisors and a legal adviser, exploited a programming flaw to reveal the answers on their computers, according to the investigation into four FBI offices around the country and several individuals.

It marked the latest critical report of the federal law enforcement agency by the inspector general's office, which has questioned in the past whether the FBI has violated civil liberties as part of its terrorism investigations.

7. The television networks need to do a few shows that reveal the corruption within the CIA and FBI

instead of glorifying it all the time.

I really like Numb3rs and other law enforcement shows but I have to put into perspective that it shows them in a good light.

Even the new CBS show Hawaii 50 makes you want to root for LEOs but the problem is that the first show explicitly stated that they were going to operate above the law.

8. Really, aren't guys who can figure out how to cheat on the test going to be the best agents anyway?
