[b]Dave and BGunner:

My first duty assignments were in the USAF SS - had a great time flying recon. At my level "Military Intelligence" was NOT an oxymoron. However, when the people higher up, not only in the USAF but also at NSA, when people didn't hear things that agreed with their preconceived notions information did "Get lost." I think this was a contributory factor in 9/11 - upper levels didn't believe what they were being told.
