Yup.

The report says: "Prior to Sept 11, the intelligence community was not prepared to handle the challenge it faced in translating the volumes of foreign language counterterrorism intelligence it collected ... The intelligence community's ability to produce significant and timely signals intelligence on counterterrorism was limited by the [NSA's] failure to address modern communications technology aggressively ... and insufficient collaboration between NSA and FBI regarding the potential for terrorist attacks in the United States."

It is my belief that although the various intelligence gathering facilities of the government are deluged with information of varying specificity in a given time period, none of what were in retrospect painfully indicative, tragic hints were compelling when viewed piecemeal across different governmental organizations which didn't habitually cross-pollenate. Nonetheless, people will inevitably ask why it is that in the time leading up to 9/11, dots weren't connected - and that is the right question to ask, in my opinion.
