“There is no smoking gun," [White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan] said. “There was no single piece of intelligence that said, ‘this guy is going to get on a plane.’”

Yeah… but “the system worked,” ...right?
White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan was briefed in October ...at the White House by Muhammad bin Nayef, Saudi Arabia’s chief counterterrorism official ...
In late August, Nayef had survived an assassination attempt by an operative dispatched by the Yemeni branch of Al Qaeda ... by detonating a bomb ...sewn into his underwear...
But what “counterterrorism adviser” could possibly imagine that some such person might use this ruse to.... oh, say.... just spitballin’, here… get on an airplane?!? “Counterintelligence:” it may not mean what you think it means.
