Oh my gosh!!! The editors of the New York Times said that Bush should go after the money source in an editorial (on Sept 24, 2001):
The Treasury Department also needs new domestic legal weapons to crack down on money laundering by terrorists. The new laws should mandate the identification of all account owners, prohibit transactions with “shell banks” that have no physical premises and require closer monitoring of accounts coming from countries with lax banking laws. Prosecutors, meanwhile, should be able to freeze more easily the assets of suspected terrorists. The Senate Banking Committee plans to hold hearings this week on a bill providing for such measures. It should be approved and signed into law by President Bush.
What short memories these guys have. Didn’t they remember that they were for this action before they were against it (maybe that’s why they liked Kerry, heehee). One has to ask, does the MSM really believe that we are at war? If they did, why would they put it at jeopardy the way they do by publishing the secret things that we are doing? This isn’t about the war in Iraq, this is about the war on terror and I thought that the MSM thought we should focus on that war. Are they part of the left-wing tin-foil hats who believe that we are really not at war? Why would Jay Tapper say this on Nightline:
At a time when conservatives are struggling to spread the message that terrorists are out to get us….
Are terrorists out to get us Jake Tapper? Why do the conservatives “struggling” to get a message out? Isn’t that your job? Are they struggling because the MSM has made it impossible to hear?
