I refuse your foundational interpretation that I have to somehow 'prove' what is self-evident.

OK, this will get you out of the conundrum you're in just as soon as you conclusively prove that your ideas are self-evident.

The CIA gets hundreds, if not thousands of attack threats and reports of suspicious activity every week.

They likely didn't have time to fully investigate the data, or just wrote it off as nothing to worry about.

Obviously in retrospect they were wrong, however putting yourself in a pre-2001 state of mind, nobody could have thought anyone had a chance of launching that kind of attack.

They knew bin Laden was after the World Trade Towers.

They also thought he would get them using aircraft.

But they expected chartered planes loaded with explosives, so I guess they were taken by surprise.

So it shows their information was sketchy. That is just further evidence they didn't know exactly what was going on, even if they had bits of information.

I'm sure if they were aware that they were going to fly passenger airliners into the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11, they would have stopped them, and stopped them easily. Hell, I'm sure if they had any serious idea of what was going on and how imminent it was, they would have put an end to it. Instead, they got caught off guard because they didn't have the information.

sorry, I don't get this.

sorry, I don't get this.

You said chartered planes loaded with explosives.... that was clearly never the plan. That means the CIA had faulty information.
