19. Their sensational headline belies the info in the article...
"Some of the information at the time was partial or incomplete and it was not obvious that it was connected"

I don't know how this specific threat could have been acted on. Having said that, the intelligence agencies need to get their shit together and communicate more. I heard last night the CIA and FBI still don't share info. :grr:
