So, if the terrorists have ears to hear, they have heard about these efforts to track their financing several times since 9/11. I know I have heard them several times before. I would presume that the terrorists in question would know whether or not their financing had been disrupted or not.
I mean, if these people are capapable of pulling off 9.11, unassisted by anyone here, they are capable of understanding far more than any of us would about ways of beating the system, and figuring out when their methods had been compromized.
My question is, whom does Bush believe is stupid, us or the terrorists?
Defense Tech: White House NYT Bashers: Hypocrites:
"Bush administration officials have been lining up to condemn The New York Times for revealing a program to track financial transactions as part of the war on terrorism. But if the Times' revelation about a program to monitor international exchanges is so damaging, why has the administration been chattering about efforts to monitor domestic transactions for nearly five years?
Shortly after the 9/11 attacks, many journalists, including this one, were briefed by U.S. Customs officials on Operation Green Quest, an effort to roll up terrorist financiers by monitoring, among other things, 'suspicious' bank transfers and ancient money lending programs favored by people of Middle Eastern descent."
