It is absolutely astounding
I have watched all of the Commission hearings on C-Span and the mis-information and lack of information provided by our intel agencies...to President's Clinton and Bush is absolutely astounding.
Another thing that is absolutely astounding is the lack of funding for the agencies...creating a personell shortage in general...and a shortage of expert personell specifically...and obsolete technical hardware.
I...having been a professional soldier...aware of the state of the art military hardware America possesses...just assumed that our intel agencies had state of the art technical hardware. The FBI as an example had such outdated computers that a global search could not be done. A grammer school kid with the cheapest Dell had better technology than the FBI did. Our agencies were basically just a facade...and that is disgraceful. They still are not state of the art and it will be several more months-to years before they are up to speed.
