Having been a part of the intelligence community in a previous life, I am very disappointed in the IC's responses to the intelligence dug up. Two solid hit prior to terror strikes indicates they (the analysts) had the system down, but the wonks were too stupid or pc to go with the intel. Makes me want to expel stomach contents.
I really do understand what you are saying.
In part, you said Godzilla, "...but the wonks were too stupid or pc to go with the intel."
MY OPINION: The wonks were not stupid -- and that leaves pc as the cause.
