Well, since the Clinton administration basically let the support for the intelligence community go to hell during his 8-year tenure, maybe going from zero to something IS an improvement that is THAT observable. Scare the right influential people enough and you can get the money and support to make things happen in short order. I'm cerainly not saying that the terrorist threat does not still exist but I would guess that it has diminished somewhat.
