Intelligence sharing is not the problem for the US government when it comes TO counter terrorism failures. A former Senior intelligence official said the problem is data integration. The official said the bits and pieces of information on Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who tried to blow up a Northwest Airlines flight on Christmas Day existed, but the system to connect the dots at the speed of light when triggered by any one piece of information is not in place. It's exists the official said, because Google does it everyday, but it's a comparable system is not being used by the US government.
