SDB writes a bit about intelligence successes as non-events, generally making the point that when intelligence agents do their job right there isn't much of a story to tell. In addition to the intelligence non-failures he mentions, I'd like to add that there haven't been any Army Blackhawk helicopters shot down in a while. There's probably more to it than intelligence work, but I still think it's a good thing.

Looks like the bad guys may have got a OH-58 Kiowa helicopter near Fallujah today. One dead, one injured.

Still, you are right on. We are making headway, and 99.9% of our "successes" will never be noted as such.
Thanks for the info. I particularly hate to read about helo crashes, for some reason.
