This is due to a bug in SE4 v1.41 (and maybe previous Versions, too). After the first counter-intel project blocks an incoming intel, all other intel projects on the attacker's queue seem to slip through. I think you can block one attack per race.

MM knows about the bug, and hopefully it will be fixed in the next patch.
