| Quote: | Damage Done
Back in June 2006, the front page of the New York Times carried news of a highly secret CIA-Treasury department intelligence program to track al Qaeda financing that drew on data supplied by a European banking consortium based in Belgium known as SWIFT.
President Bush denounced the newspaper’s disclosure of the classified counterterrorism operation as “disgraceful.” Prior to publication, administration officials had strenuously warned the newspaper not to run the story, arguing, among other things, that it would endanger national security by placing the SWIFT consortium under intense pressure to stop sharing information with U.S. intelligence.
...
Today, buried in the back pages of the Times, comes news that the European Central Bank has ordered SWIFT to cease providing banking data to the United States for use in investigations of al Qaeda. “Under European Union rules,” the Times reports, “information on money transfers can be used only for banking purposes and not for other uses, like combating terrorism.”

Now that the press has told the enemy how we track them, the Europeans have stepped up to help them by denying our investigators the banking info needed to track terrorist organizations.
Europe has swilled the koolaid and become Dhimmis.

Just finished the book and although Steyn has lots of humor it is quite depressing. Europe is in a lot of trouble.

Aren't there laws against this sort of activity by the Times? If not, why not? If so, why aren't they being applied to these traitors?

I think it's that book where I read 70% of Russian pregnancies end in abortion. Bye bye Ruskies. |
