Ah, the dangers of auto-responders. At PowerLine:

Dear Mr. Keller:

I want to thank you personally for breaking the story on the government illegally using the SWIFT system to track money.

This administration is always breaking the law. They all belong behind bars. Just remember, it's your duty to make sure they're kicked out of office, in the most humiliating way possible. Republicans are killers of poor people all around the world. Crimes against humanity should not go unpunished.

Keep up the good work.

Henry David

Also embarrassing for the Times, this editorial from 2001:

Organizing the hijacking of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon took significant sums of money. The cost of these plots suggests that putting Osama bin Laden and other international terrorists out of business will require more than diplomatic coalitions and military action. Washington and its allies must also disable the financial networks used by terrorists.

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...

Michelle Malkin has a good round-up here: Treasury To Keller: "Irresponsible;" Murtha, Kean, Hamilton Intervened (includes the letter from Treasury Secretary Snow), as well as here: New York Times Flashback

Amendment to above post; in fact, it's General Assembly resolution 194, so it's definitely just a recommendation, not binding.
