From the NYT - "WASHINGTON — The Central Intelligence Agency is secretly collecting bulk records of international money transfers handled by companies like Western Union — including transactions into and out of the United States — under the same law that the National Security Agency uses for its huge database of Americans’ phone records, according to current and former government officials."
Ho-hum Another surveillance program exposed. Do I care? Nah. However, what's more fun is wondering why is the NYT releasing this story now? They must've known about this for awhile. The evolving disaster that is Obamacare is too big to bumped off the newspages by a story about the CIA, so they can't be trying to gift the Obama administration with a diversion. Why would the NYT want to stick it to the Obama administration? GWB I understood, but their brother liberal?

How do you think the CIA tracks those that finance terrorism? Marked bills?
The MSM is now confirming what conspiracy sites like Above Top Secret have been saying for years.
They were called crazy and paranoid.
Now that it comes out most Americans are "ho-hum" about it. No big deal they say, it's been going on for years.
Apathy will be the death of this country.
Treasury and other federal agencies, inclluding intelligence agencies, have been monitoring international money transfers for decades. Nothing new is all of this.
Does that mean they're finally going to tax the illegal aliens that are earning cash incomes in the U.S. but not paying payroll, etc., taxes? They wire their money back home. Illegal Immigrants Sending $45 Billion Home

I highly doubt it. These people are not citizens.
They would have to deport them to arrest them and then extradite them back
I just did one last week to China for my new business. Hope the CIA was watching; we ordered bottles and labels. Exciting stuff.
