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?
