I kept wondering what the fuss was all about w/r/t the story in the NY Times, LA Times, and Wall Street Journal, about tracking banking records.

Uh...duh.

Didn't we already know this?

TBogg confirms it.

Dateline: 2001, people!

So the moral of the story is, anyone with a good memory or the ability to use Google can undermine national security too.

Wait...that's not it. . .

The moral of the story is, the administration is afraid of the truth, so let the undermining commence.

I'm sure there are other equally plausible morals to this story.
