inadequate (not enough) resources rather than inadequate (no good) personnel

ny times reports today that:

an internal investigation by the central intelligence agency has concluded that officials who served at the highest levels of the agency should be held accountable for failing to allocate adequate resources to combating terrorism before the sept. 11 attacks, according to current and former intelligence officials

mr. pavitt, one of the accused directors, agreed with "the basic conclusion that the C.I.A. paid too little heed to the threat posed by terrorism" and maintained that indeed the "directorate of operations, which he supervised, did not have adequate resources before the Sept. 11 attacks but said that he had "consistently fought for additional resources, commencing that effort in 1997 and stopping only in August 2004 when I retired."

ironic that the u.s.a. (or any organization) would accuse, blame, hold accountable persons doing a job to the best of their ability without enough material with which to perform the job... especially when those individuals, all the while between 1997 and 2004 are crying aloud, we do not have the resources to do this...
