Obama: We Knew Enough to Stop Terror Attack - Political Hotsheet - CBS News

Political Hotsheet - CBS News05/01/2010 5:31p.m., extracto.-

President Obama said this afternoon that government officials "had sufficient information to have uncovered this plot and potentially disrupt" the Christmas Day terror plot but "failed to connect [the] dots" that would have allowed them to do so.

"This was not a failure to collect intelligence, it was a failure to integrate and understand the intelligence that we already had," he said.

Following a 90-minute meeting with officials investigating how a Nigerian national with possible al Qaeda links was able to board a Detroit-bound airliner with an explosive device, Mr. Obama said "it is increasingly clear that intelligence was not fully analyzed or fully leveraged."
