Spy Agency Data After Sept. 11 Led F.B.I. to Dead Ends - New York Times

Spy Agency Data After Sept. 11 Led F.B.I. to Dead Ends - New York Times:

"the comments on the N.S.A. program from the law enforcement and counterterrorism officials, many of them high level, are the first indication that the program was viewed with skepticism by key figures at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the agency responsible for disrupting plots and investigating terrorism on American soil."

This is also the first public indication that some in the F.B.I. may be unhappy with their post-September 11th, Homeland Security roles. Perhaps this "distaste" for what they deem dead end investigations may have been behind some of their lapses prior to September 11th?

It is typical that the same people who have derided our security errors before September 11th, are often the same people who complain about investigating the same types of leads now.
