I agree. It didn't stop 9/11, or Boston, or the 7/7 bombings in London. But the one quote that I always try to remember, from the West Wing, and I'm paraphrasing here. It was made by someone talking about the CIA and they said "The problem with our reputation is our successes are private, our failures are public." Again, I agree with you, but that quote (although from a TV show), kind of made me ponder the situation national security agencies are in a little deeper.

the problem with the CIA is that its failures are largely private as well. it is feedback free system with no accountability.
