A number of mistakes that changed US as a country.

The CIA has announced a forthcoming reform of the intelligence, Angelo Akuaro wrote in his article published in "La Repubblica" yesterday. As investigators said a Nigerian citizen Umar Farooq Abdulmutallaba had a basic visa for visiting US. And he was able to blow up airplanes over the skies of Detroit for the simple reason - State Department spelled his name wrong. And that was not the first mistake of that kind.
State Department was requested to review the procedure of issuing entry visas to US and focus their attention on the problem of terrorism. They also required to improve the technical aspect of that problem. The report of the White House, in particular, refers to the devastating effects of "human error and a series of systematic failures of the system". First, the U.S. government had enough information to prevent a terrorist attack and thwart the plans of criminals. In addition, the management of intelligence has not engaged in collecting the information about the dangerous activities of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

Finally, the black list should be reviewed, taking into account the fact that the Nigerian terrorist was in the lists of terrorist suspects, but was not included in the list of persons who are not allowed to enter the United States. However, despite a number of mistakes made by intelligence services, there is no need to reorganize it the report says.

The failure of intelligence is the result of overly inflated the number of agencies and it was another obstacle to the disclosure of criminal intent of terrorists. The head of the CIA Leon Panetta has already announced a number of reforms in his department and ordered the preparation of the report on suspected terrorists.
