CIA spying on international finance and monetary system?

It is more fun criticizing


CIA Collecting Records of International Money Transfers

From Wall St. Journal online

From Leaksource blog

The current accusations of various govt:    spying  by US seems to be gathering confirmation as true.  Why is Barack Obama, a democrat allowing this?  He does not know this?  What happens to command responsibility?

CIA seems to be using the same law, the Patriot Act that NSA uses in tapping phone and internet records, in monitoring records of Western Union on wire transfers (to track funding of terrorists?)

That is there is a group of Civil Libertarians who are activitists vs this kind of govt curtailment of US liberties.

Well CIA could always invoke national security in monitoring money transfers.  Is this legal or constitutional, moral?
