Soooo, why wasn't that done first, rather than When All Else Fails?

Intelligence gathering a very good idea; not much shown up to now. I hope that investigations include looking in the settlements involved in "price tag" attacks.

The focus should have been on serious police work and intelligence right from the start. Instead the government chose dumb and violent military action. Thus it actually endangers the teens it pretends to care for - all for the parties' political agenda. Great.
