No, I knew you meant bad intel. The thing I don't understand is how so many could be so wrong, as far as the intelligence is concerned. I can understand some of what happened here in the US, after the Church hearings, and the funding was cut so drastically under Carter, and again under Clinton. One can't just parachute folks in to see what the latest is for the day, and then catch a train to the nearest taxi to leave. These people have to live there, for years. And years. And have to be paid for years.
So I can understand a little bit about the US situation, but were all the agencies in the rest of the US wrong (military, FBI, NSA, private corporations, etc) to say nothing of the other intelligence agencies in places like UK, Australia, Israel, Russia, etc....Were they ALL wrong? |
