If you consider it a <i>right</i> to have ineffectual intelligence and security services, then maybe you have a point, but given that one of the most shocking things about this whole horror is the spectacular failure of intelligence and security, you might wish to consider just how you improve their effectiveness if you don't give them real teeth. If you have concrete suggestions, let's hear them!
