Bank Record Silliness in Wing-Nut land

This article has gotten the ‘Lie and Die’ GOP Far right wing nuts on the internet fired up.
Bank Records Secretly Tapped

They still believe that al Qaeda are idiots, Osama bin Laden is a multimillion, don’t you think he knows how banks are transferring money?

Why does the Far Right believe that this ‘traitorous’ revelation of the Bush administration trying to ” bypass traditional banking privacy protections” was catching any terrorist?

Stupid ones maybe, but not likely, terrorist of that nature are ‘Cash and Carry’ and the smart ones are well aware of that can and cannot be seen in bank transfers, and they would have covered their trail.

This is just another destruction of freedom, and the removal of yet another privacy from the American People.

Update: A really good article about why this was never a secret, and if there is a traitor It’s George Bush Who talked about this;


In a September 24, 2001, speech, Bush announced the establishment of a “foreign terrorist asset tracking center at the Department of the Treasury to identify and investigate the financial infrastructure of the international terrorist networks.” He added, “It will bring together representatives of the intelligence, law enforcement, and financial regulatory agencies to accomplish two goals: to follow the money as a trail to the terrorists, to follow their money so we can find out where they are; and to freeze the money to disrupt their actions.”

So more lies from the Lie and Die party.
