Subject: Re: Israel Knew - Now What
One could say the same thing was true in America. A group of intelligence specialists somewhere in the CIA or NSA had spotted the disconcerting pattern with visas, stays in the US, cash payments for FLIGHT SCHOOLS, etc. and reported it up the chain. The group was pretty much ignored cuz many of them were women.

I wonder if you'll get the same political outcome in Israel that you had in the U.S. The Israeli electorate has historically been very unforgiving of intelligence and national security failures - the Yom Kippur War destroyed the political career of Golda Meir. So you'd think that this would be very, very bad for Netanyahu's prospects after the war. But who knows....
