Intelligence: A highly critical CIA report details the spy agency's failings during the 1990s in preventing the 9/11 attacks. But as the report makes clear, the Clinton administration also deserves a big piece of the blame.
The scathing look into the CIA's many failures before 9/11 makes for some depressing reading. The CIA at various times knew information that it didn't pass along to others, or ignored things it should have paid closer attention to.

She made it illegal because of the wall she built
The wall she built to help prevent the detection of all of the red Chinese money finding its way into DNC coffers.
Insert a hearty "No $*** Sherlock" here.

This one can filed under the Duh! heading...
Right.
There are some pretty shocking examples from Pakistan that have been slowly coming to light.
