Intel and LE are great but not sufficient to deal with modern terrorism as the history of the last decade shows. What did "intel and LE" do about Osama bin Ladin and Al Qaeda before 9/11? They'd been attacking Americans and American targets in other countries for years.

Sudan offered to give us Osama bin Ladin in 1996, but
"The FBI did not believe we had enough evidence to indict bin Laden at that time, and therefore opposed bringing him to the United States," said Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger, who was deputy national security adviser then.

BTW, Saddam also financed Phillipine terrorists who killed Americans. And harbored a number of terrorists including the ones who killed an American AID official in Amman, Jordan in recent years.
