However, our morons aren't helping by telling/leaking "How we tracked him down and the whole rest of our investigation." This war is about intellignece and all we're doing is showing them how to do it right next time.
Screwing over the intel community and then blaming us for the failure is the SOP of our policritters.
Back in 1998, after the embassy bombings, one of our politcritters that was on the intelligence oversight committee went on national TV and told everybody that we didn't have to worry about Osama because we were listening to his phone calls. Guess who ditched their cell phone the very next day? This one really peeved me because if anyone from my field had done that, they would have been in Leavenworth. I don't think they even took away that congressman's position on the committee.
On another instance we caught India preparing to test a nuclear weapon. Our diplo/policritters went and told them to stop, when India feined ignorance those deiplo/policritters whipped out the satellite photos and pointed out all the key points that told us they were preparing for a nuke test. Three years later they lit one off and we never saw it coming because the Indians had corrected all those key giveaways. Of course we got blamed for not seeing that one coming.
On a third occasion a similiar event went down with China, and once again the diplo/policritters showed them the satellite evidence. A few months later the PRC pulled off their test during the only 5 minute window in that entire month that didn't have satellite assets in a position to see what they were doing real time.
Frankly I'm of the opinion that bureaucrats shouldn't be allowed within half a mile of the war planning or intel processing rooms. They've done nothing over the past century other than goat $*%& the military or intel peeps when they are allowed to meddle in such matters.
