Marconious, from where I see it it seems more like an agenda-driven media resucitating an old story, as you note, the US government has been talking about tracking terrorists' financial transactions for a long time, I think there's even some Rumsfeld quote on great success with this. As I posted, relevant resolutions called for sharing financial information to track potentially terrorist activity go back to the first week post-911, so it is old news.

This story didn't resonate back then and doesn't elicit much public debate again, other than to highlight the perfidy of the NYT.
