Why does the WH hate America?
Real swift, guys -
Is it a leak if it wasn't a secret in the first place?
There's just one little problem here. The transaction-monitoring program described by the NY Times and other media outlets wasn't much of a secret anyway. As the Boston Globe reports today, "public records - government documents posted on the Internet, congressional testimony, guidelines for bank examiners, and even an executive order President Bush signed in September 2001 - describe how US authorities have openly sought new tools to track terrorist financing since 2001."
