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

Organizing the hijacking of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon took significant sums of money. [snip] Washington and its allies must also disable the financial networks used by terrorists.

[snip]

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.

[snip]

Though some smaller financial transactions are likely to slip through undetected even after new rules are in place, much of the financing needed for major attacks could dry up.

[snip]

If America is going to wage a new kind of war against terrorism, it must act on all fronts, including the financial one.

Me dear old sainted Dad must be ROIGLHAO. If the NYT somehow made it into our home, the perpetrator would be whipped.

It was a "Commie Paper," "New Deal Bullsheet," paper, "Truman Propaganda," "Bolshevik Rag," and a whole lotta other politically incorrect stuff, paper. The NYT could turn my old man purple.

The only NY Paper allowed to cross our threshold was the New York Herald Tribune.
