That's what happened with 9/11. If I remember correctly, there was no definate factual info, only chatter. Then it happened and a lot of people threw a big fit because no one said anything about it. I don't remember hearing anything in which any intelligence said, "There will be 2 planes flying into the World trade Center on 9/11", now that would have been factual intelligence.
