The people who needed to see that CIA report saw it in a timely fashion. The problem was a lack of actionable intelligencence. But the real problem, from my vantage point, was not with intelligence, but with procedures for keeping unknown vessels away from the Cole in Aden harbor. The terrorists, in any event, have the advantage. The U.S. Navy has to defend all its ships all th time.
Terrorists have to just hit one, at a time of their choosing.
Give a couple of hours of reporting, I'm quite sure I could give you accurate answers. He is, after all, someone whom we believe has essentially engaged in acts of ar against the U.S. military. I also don't believe that political stability in the U.S. necessarily leads to global peace. Their presence will also probably make it even harder to get things done inside a military establishment that it already unbelievable bureaucratic and plodding in much that it does. Driving top scientists away from the labs with polygraph examinations, in my opinion, does not enhance our national security.
