"You would think that when something this big happens, we would have folks on the ground who would sense something was forthcoming," said Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss, who was recently named vice chairman of the Senate Select Intelligence Committee.
"That didn't happen, and I think we need to figure out why," he added.
That said, Chambliss acknowledged that the sudden firestorm of protests in Egypt may have been too spontaneous for anybody to foresee, adding that he thought President Barack Obama "is handling this thing right."
