NEW YORK TIMES FLASHBACK

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 27, 2006 11:09 AM

Good catch from a reader at Power Line, posted by Scott Johnson:

Reader Douglas Rose has drawn our attention to this September 24, 2001 New York Times editorial (”Finances of Terror”) (access limited to TimesSelect):

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

But as Scott writes, “That was then.”

And this is now.

“Puzzled.” They’re “puzzled.” Keep sending them a clue.

Ed Morrissey and Bryan Preston have more.

Hugh Hewitt had it here, giving props to LegalXXX and the ever-vigilant FReepers.

Hugh also catches the LA Times guys crossing wires.
