From: "Mark" 

How so John? Prior to 9/11 the FBI couldn't talk with the CIA. Then even
after the first attack on the WTC in '93, where their lack of ability to
communicate was particularly harmful, rather than fix it, that firewall was
strengthened even further by Jamie Gorelick in '96 or so. Then Torricelli
pushed through a demand that the CIA only hire pristine informants, thus
destroying their ability to hire people that might actually know something
or be capable of infiltrating to find out anything.

But I am interested in why you think it revisionist.
