Yes but isn't that expecting a little bit to much from an intelligence agency. It seems people don't understand these days that intelligence gathering is a really difficult and an inexact science. People expect a hundred percent accurate intelligence a hundred percent of the time. What they seem to forget is that the people that have the intelligence we want, don't want to give it up, and are also pretty good a spreading disinformation.
It was like when every Pundit in the United States critisized the US intelligence community for not knowing when the Pakistanis were going to test their missiles. It is like the CIA is expected to read everyone's minds.
As a friend of mine who is pretty high placed in the NSA told me, you would be surprized by how much we don't know.
