The CIA should take heat for not preparing the country for this attack. The modus operandi of this attack was laid out for the CIA by Phillippine intelligence 6 years ago. Convicted/suspected terrorists apparently have been going in and out of our country for years, with little or no surveillance.
The CIA's business is supposed to be collecting and analyzing intelligence, so that we can prepare in advance for important events, like the collapse of Communism, Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, and the terrorist attack of 9/11. But they have apparently left the intelligence business behind, so that they can focus on short-sightedly arming, funding, and training rebels and terrorists around the world, and attempting to overthrow governments that are not properly aligned politically with our corporate powers.
