Scott, our defense intelligence is now acting like burokracy
they are more invested in turf protection than action
they have an unspoken directive of "not causing havoc, chaos"
unfortunately, after 30 years of entrenchment, intelligence communities are now very much concerned about pensions, payscales, time off with family, encroachment of competing agencies, lost face, budget continuation
low on the list in my cynical opinion is stopping terrorism
to do so would upset the home offices
to do so requires being wrong occasionally
to do so cannot be done without pissing off some director
we still fix problems with a brand new sprawling burokcracy
case in point is Homeland Security
it is a bad joke
AFTER ABOUT 3-4 TERRORIST ATTACKS, ONLY THEN WILL THE USA TAKE STERN SERIOUS ACTION LIKE FORMING AN ELITE ANTI-TERROR ACTION GROUP
not until far more attacks, more loss of life, more loss of property, more disruption to commerce, more insurance calamities
the USA is more interested in major league baseball than terrorism
and more involved in summer fishing than AlQaeda hunting
and more eager to bang the oldlady than shooting terror suspects
and more determined to down another beer with that barbequed hamburger
THAN EATING THE LIVER OF A DEAD TERRORIST
watch the carnival defense of Moussaui and the Calif Taliban
this is where our priorities lie now
"protection of rights, protection of freedoms"
not protection from terrorists
