The Iniquity of The Times
9/11 Commission Chairman Tom Kean mourns the loss of the program exposed by the New York Times.
What's most interesting is that he noted that Treasury officials were "'very agitated and very concerned' about possible exposure of the program." This, once again, suggests that either John Snow or Bill Keller is a liar . . . and the liar isn't John Snow.

The real iniquity of our time is the blatant hypocrisy, greed, and a contempt for those less fortunate demonstrated by the current administration and its blind followers.
Carol, why do you toggle between disregarding Kean as all but a RINO one minute (as co-leader of the 9/11 commission) and then hang on his every word the next?
Which is he? Friend or foe? Gotta know, gotta know now.
Ditto:
I've asked you this before, Ditto. But you failed to respond. So I'll ask again.
You've made a huge effort to point out - multiple times - that it has been public knowledge for a long time that the President has been targeting financial assets of the terrorists and their supporters since the beginning of the war on terror.
This is absolutely true.
But I ask you: Is there a difference between blocking known assets and tracking transactions to see if they are related to terrorism?
My point?
Once all the known terror supporting financial assets have been "frozen", the next logical thing to do would be to find the UNKNOWN financial supports for terrorism.
But a shrewd - and serious - administration wouldn't simply find them and "freeze" them. Instead, they would track them to find out where the money is coming from and where it's going.
It's this kind of effort - this effort exactly - that has exposed terrorist activities and captured terrorists.
So your repeated attempts to claim that the program exposed by the New York Times, the LA Times, and the Wall Street Journal is simply old news already known to the public is false.
Once assets were frozen, the terrorists and their supporters had to find alternate means to finance their operations. This program is - was - secretly tracking as many of these transactions as possible.
Now, of course, the terrorists have once again been dutifully alerted by the American media. And, once again, the job of protecting Americans and capturing terrorists has been made more difficult.
I don't expect any of this to change your mind, however. And I'm not going to go as far as to say you actually want America to lose. But it's blatantly obvious that you want George Bush to lose. The sad irony is that George Bush, as much as you hate it, is the person responsible for making sure America wins.
Can you put aside your Bush hatred long enough to actually root for America once in a while?
They are just quick to comment their left wing pinko commie drivel here because we are such a fun group of conservatives to chat with. Their ideas about where America should be headed have nothing to do with individual freedoms or responsibility. They're all victims of democracy and capitalism.
