Well, the CIA cannot legally within the US.   So the CIA failure is that it
didn't detect the plot from information available from out of country.

Unfortunately, they failed.   Of course, most of the work the on the 911
attacks was done in the US.   The FBI has the responsiblity inside the
country.   The INS and the border patrol and customs have the oblation to
control our borders.   All things considered, the CIA did better than most
of the government to protect us from such attacks.

You are right here, the CIA didn't catch the plot.

If the CIA leadership is reprimanded they should stand in line BEHIND the
above mentioned agencies and you shoud throw in the FAA and the pilot unions
who until the 11th didn't support resisting hi-jackers.

The CIA is getting $20 billion?   New to me!   Most of that money goes to
the DOD.

If it buys missiles, spare parts, ammunition (for training), and brings up
the readiness of the military, YES it does!

Well, the NEXT bombing of the World Trade Center will not kill anyone!
(BTW:  had the first attack worked, it would have killed a lot more than
10,000 people as one tower would have come down immediately and it may have
taken other buildings with it.)   The first bombing should have been a "wake
up" call but the call was ignored.

Guarantee all you want.   But you are quite wrong.   The lead bad guy had
all the money anyone could desire and he certainly wasn't interested in
ending terrorist activities.
