September 24, 2001 Monday Late Edition - Final SECTION: Section A; Column 1; Editorial Desk; Pg. 30 LENGTH: 545 words HEADLINE: Finances of Terror

not surprising. the media has long forgotten 9-11 ever happened and that Saddam was a terrorist-supporting muderous thug. just inconvient history now.
Outstanding find.
Great Post
Nice find.
Another case of "down the memory hole." Absolutely sickening.
HOLY FECES
Great find!
My first post (long-time lurker). I presume we are not allowed to post NYT articles in full. Let me know if we can, and I'll dump the whole thing in. Is there any special dispensation for Editorials?
Then again, I could just say it's in the public interest and post the whole bloody thing.
Hypocrisy BUMP
Email this to Rush and Brit Hume!
Yeah, but that was before the RATS lost two elections in a row. The NYT has priorities, ya know.
Great post!
Nice work. Thanks.
"Exerpts from a NYT editorial just days after 9-11..."
Added some keywords being used on other articles regarding the SWIFT bank network and terrorists tracking.
And some others might find this very interesting.
Excellent discovery. This needs to be used.
Way to go, steveyp! Blow these hypocrites out of the water!
