Counter intelligence projects?

One point in level 3 is worth 3 points in level 1.

With level 3 counter intel you only need to produce a third of the enemy's intel to shut him out.

Being able to store more points as well is just a plus (and remember you can have a couple of counter intel projects hanging around at the end).

I am not clear as to what you mean by this phrase?

Move the projects to the end of the queue.

Right...it was a stupid question!

There's no such thing as a silly question! I was trying to sort out what was happening to my counter-intelligence projects, and found this thread on a search. I hadn't realized that the points in the project are "used" along the way to foil the enemy's plans. Thanks, tbontob, for asking the right questions, and thanks to all for the answers!

Technomage, I thank you for the support. I sometimes wonder if I am making a nuisance of myself.

And yes, thanks to all of you who take the time to answer our questions.

I've been reading (or at least been trying to read) all Posts on counter intel but there are some things still unclear to me. I appologise in case I missed the explanation somewhere but this is how I understand how counter intel works.
I always have counter intel 3 going on and sometimes not 1 project (if I'm heavily attacked - not to run out of points). Now we're playing PBW SEIV gold patch2. I have ~80k of intel points and 3 counterintel 3 in a row (NOT distributing points evenly). First intel project is crew insurrection and after that - 3 counterintels3. I get the turn and see that my counterintel has NO progress at all but AI managed to get through with 2 nasty projects (one of them - planet conditions 'deadly') which made me VERY angry. _BUT_ I don't know which AI attacked me and I don't know how they managed to get through my counter intel measures. I'm pretty sure AI does not have more intel than me. And in case of multiple AI attack - why my counterintel has no progress at all?
Thanx.
