It was the same deal here with the Boston bombers. Mooks already hot on the radar due to passage of information from other friendly intel operations manage to somehow organize and perform a large scale attack. It&#x27;s almost as though preventing terrorism isn&#x27;t the main focus of these totalitarian programs or something. Anyways, if anything, failures of intelligence like these should elicit budget cuts and re-strategizing rather than re-investment into a proven failed avenue-- a failed avenue that, when functioning properly, deprives the population of human rights, and when failing, fails silently and violently at the expense of the same public that was also hurt during the &quot;successful&quot; period.<p>A sober approach is to accept that there is no way to prevent people from killing each other; after all, even in prison people manage to kill each other.
