The New York Times, 9/24/01

From the "That Was Then, This Is Not Then" Files:

The Bush administration is preparing new laws to help track terrorists through their money-laundering activity and is readying an executive order freezing the assets of known terrorists. Much more is needed, including stricter regulations, the recruitment of specialized investigators and greater cooperation with foreign banking authorities. There must also must be closer coordination among America's law enforcement, national security and financial regulatory agencies....If America is going to wage a new kind of war against terrorism, it must act on all fronts, including the financial one.
Then the shock of the attack wore off and the Times jihad to destroy Dubya began again. Power at all costs, that's their motto, even if a million people have to die in the process.
