Why is it that we have blonde women in the CIA working undercover in corporations, and not Arabic men infiltrating terrorist groups? Maybe we do? I'm not privy to such things. It seems like a waste of resources if you ask me.

There are many ways to gather intelligence one of which is usage of innocent looking blond desk agent. I mean, why put all your eggs in one basket? A healthy mix of desk agents and field agents is more effective than having a force consisting of only field agents.

I'd say with 9/11 they were lacking field agents.

They are, finding good field agents that speak Arabic is a terribly difficult undertaking. Still, you're not going to win this battle by simply throwing more field agents into the field.

Your right!!! We need a multi-barrelled repeating rifle that loads either field or desk agents. Also, it should be equipped with either automatic or single shot capability.

(Sorry to digress - I agree with your statement, but it's Friday afternoon and I got a bad case of the stupids).

They put out good ships after Pearl Harbor got bombed too. Hindsight is 20 /20. You actually think they want to win?
