Is this an Intelligence Failure...............?

How long'll this Continue.............?
Delhi woke up the morning after the serial blasts hoping to be reassured that the city, and the nation, were safe, and that the authorities were doing all they could to ensure their security. But after over-an hour-long meeting chaired by Union home minister Shivraj Patil here, Union home secretary Madhukar Gupta had this to tell reporters: "... after each incident you gain experience"...............Shame
I think,There is already plenty of "experience": At least 550 lives have been lost to 11 terrorist attacks across India in the last three years alone. And the three terror attacks — in Bengaluru, Ahmedabad and Delhi — have taken place within about seven weeks. What the ministry headed by Mr Patil left unsaid was that after Saturday’s serial blasts in New Delhi, the number of unsolved cases had risen, the police and security agencies were groping in the dark and had been unable to prevent the blasts while the terrorists continue to attack with utter impunity. There is just one phrase on the lips of most members of the public "Intelligence failure". I demand an explanation from the Home minister and for that matter of fact from the GOI as to why such attacks could not be prevented?
"Only giving money or speaking nice words will not be sufficient to nurse the wounds inflicted by repeated terror attacks. We need to be tough and take action to bring the culprits to book."
