There is another sense in which "intelligence" fails that I think may be more important to understand. This is the sense in which otherwise intelligent people fail to see that while protecting the country against terrorist attacks is vital, it is equally critical to act in such a way that fewer and fewer terrorists want to attack us. U.S. foreign policy over the past few decades and most especially since 2001 has pretty much alienated all of our traditional allies and made enemies out of many people we could have been working with in a positive way.

I feel sorry for politicinas: they have to have a position on everything, then they can't ever change it for fear of loosing their base. Insane! we need to re-think everything concerned with security, military/industrial complex and private control of the govt…

Why because they have stopped thinking.! Even the companies that survived today are the ones that have changed with the environment. Yes CIA has NOT changed with the environment.

Even the companies that survived today are the ones that have changed with the environment.

Working in government I have found that challenging the status quo is not inducive to a long career and so many good ideas (including good intelligence) are not given the exposure they deserve. We need to allow people to be creative, imaginiative and make mistakes without punishing them. Only then can the way intelligence is created and utilised change for the better. As the saying goes: 'If we always do what we always done, we will always get what we always got'.
