Hi Skot,

two things:
- automated data analysis has come a very long way since 2001, and
- it is accepted that the failure then was a human coordination issue, 
not an automated analysis issue.

Trans-national targets, like international terrorists, were very hard to 
keep track of back then by conventional means. Read Tom Clancy, he will 
tell you all about it :)

Best regards, Andrew
