#1 good for the CIA. If we've learned anything it is that simply watching and gathering info as these mobsters build their empires stronger and stronger, is counterproductive.

I can't comment as to whether or not the CIA handled it badly - but I'm glad to see we aren't allowing another trade center bombing to occur because they allowed the key players to continue in the game.

#2 Yes, good for the CIA, though I wish they hadn't been so clumsy and left bread crumbs all over the place. The CIA is supposed to be the Phantom, The Ghost Who Walksâ¢, when it does stuff like this. Nasr was supposed to go "poof" and disappear. Our people then were supposed to be able to say, with a straight face, "Nasr? Never heard of him."

#4 From their previous surveillance of Nasr, Italian investigators had been reaping a wealth of information about recruitment of jihadi fighters across Europe.

I don't know. If they're stupid, have big mouths, and are wired for sound you might want to leave them out there.
