Not seeing a carefully planned terrorist attack coming is vastly different than observing a conflict out in the open. Also, do you really think that signals intelligence collection hasn't improved since 2001?

Yes and in 2001 it had improved from when the CIA had been formed. That argument doesn't really stand up, of course there will be more progress as time goes on but their responsibility was the same then as it is now.

Their job is to see carefully planned attacks is it not? Wouldn't require much signals intelligence collection if they took out ads on the side of buses outlining their intentions.
