    The Intelligence agencies were broken long before 9/11. Its sadly old hat.

    The fact is our agencies were geared to fighting Soviets and other state based entities with lots of high tech. Not low tech stateless actors and lone wolves driven by a religious ideology that almost no one in the Pentagon or the intel field understood, and use modes of communication that renders most of our high tech tools are useless.

    Whats worse the efforts to centralize all of them under the intel czar have been a disaster.

    And not one presidential candidate has a solution to this ongoing clusterfuck.
