Treason at the Times?

Puuuuuhhh-leeeeaze.

As Secrecy News sent out:

CRS ON TERRORIST FINANCING, ARMY OFFICER SHORTAGE

A new Congressional Research Service report provides a resume of the
Terrorist Finance Tracking Program that was recently described in
news stories.

See "Treasury's Terrorist Finance Program's Access to Information
Held by the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial
Telecommunication (SWIFT)," July 7, 2006:

News reports on the program elicited furious criticism of the New
York Times and other publications from those who believed classified
information had been improperly and damagingly disclosed.

But "closely similar" accounts were publicly presented years ago in
open congressional hearings, the Washington Post reported today.

See "Watching Finances Of Terror Suspects Discussed in 2002" by
Walter Pincus, Washington Post, July 14:
