The insight into our intelligence capability as indicated by the 7/7 Reports is scary when it discloses the limited capability to follow-up all that comes to hand.
The Americans have disclosed just what steps they are prepared to take to get the raw material for analysis. Phone record data mining and line taps are causing much contraversy. How on earth does one get stuff out in time for it to be useful. Just one example - the day before 9/11 they came across two phone conversations from interesting locations. Both said - in effect - "the game starts tomorrow". In retrospect, incredibly valid information. Would they ever have solved what game and where in the 24 hours available? Better than any TV serial eh?
Just imagine the work needed to x-reference all the information that phone tapping would lead to
