I also must say I think it's very disingenuous to say no one told us what day, hijacked airplanes, what buildings. That's not sufficient for the people who have taken a constitutional oath to defend and protect the security of the United States.

I think the Pearl Harbor analogy works in a way. If Franklin Roosevelt had been warned by 14 reasonably, well in fact present company excepted, deeply experienced people in national security that the Japanese were going to attack America sometime, someplace, somehow and had done nothing to get ready for that I think he would have been held very seriously accountable.
