Yes. It is hard -- knowing over 3,000 people might not have been murdered. I think I'd be feeling it even "harder" were I in law enforcement, military, FBI -- knowing I might have been able to stop the mass-murder, had I been allowed access to the data.

True. But personally, I really believe in staying positive.
We live in a great country---really one of the free-est in the history of man. That is why we can learn so much (though not all) about horrible stuff like the Able Danger suppression.
But what we need to do is keep fighting and do what we can to preserve this freedom. Just read the Gettysburg Address. All those men died---and in fact, had Meade pursued Lee after the battle as Lincoln expressly ordered him to, the Civil War would have probably ended right there.
Lincoln felt bad, but he didn't hang his head for long. He wrote the greatest speech of all time, elevated Grant to supreme command, and preserved the Union.
We can all do our small part too, and it keeps going.
Its really incredible when you look at people like Allawi in Iraq or Gary Kasparov in Russia. They have so little to work with, but they fight for freedom. Despite the imperfections of the US, we have so much.
We will win---we just have to realize that the Leftists of the world are, essentially, united, and we must learn to understand their organization---loose in some parts, tight in others---and realize that subversion is their great forte and weapon---and learn to secure our own party a little better against it.
