Maybe you should talk to the family of the 3300 people in the WTC that
died because the FBI, CIA
or Special Services didn't have or couldn't intercept the many mail, fax
and cell phone communications
that went between the cowards that flew planes into the buildings.
You know, I feel safer now than I did on 9-11. The price of freedom is
costly.
Ummm, interception wasn't the problem. Interpretation was the problem.
Harvesting more email isn't going to solve much (and will possibly
compound the problem) if intelligence agencies lack enough manpower to
translate and interpret the messages.
Your comment seems to lay blame for 9/11 on the intelligence community.
It's fair to say that they had major flaws at that time (and possibly
now as well). You could argue that this specific incident could have
been prevented if certain measures were in place. Keep in mind, the
perpetrators were a determined group that was willing to accept death in
the pursuit of their goal. That's a combination that is nearly unstoppable.
