Factors Against: It's still almost inconceivable Bush would do this.

Factors For: Belgium is now investigating SWIFT's compliance with American subpoenas to determine if it is lawful. This may jeopardize further cooperation and make SWIFT effectively a terrorist-safe money conduit.

Switzerland is evaluating its cooperation with SWIFT.

Both of these show an actual, tangible harm to national security, and undermine Bill Keller's claims that he can't see how his treason could help Al Qaeada.

Further, Bush seems really pissed off.

Few Democrats are willing to defend the NYT. Only left-wing media types, who don't have to stand for election, are willing to do so.

And politically, this seems to be the best time to do it. The NYT cannot even manage to allege any wrongdoing or illegality here, except for vague "questions" about "privacy." They've blown a major, effective program for no reason whatsoever, except their own personal aggrandizement.

Chances that the NYT will be exposed to legal compulsion* of some sort:

* Either a Congressional hearing featuring direct, under-oath questioning of NYT reporters and editors, or a Justice Department investigation into them, or, more likely, a grand-jury investigation into the leakers in which NYT reporters and editors are compelled to reveal their sources or face prison, as occurred in the case of Judy Miller

What the eff? What the effing eff? Aren't spam comments supposed to provoke interest?

Have you SEEN the crap that's getting spammed to this site lately?

"Yeah, so, nothing really going on here..."

"One day just seems to bleed into the next, lifelessly..."

"I've just been staying at home waiting for something from the mailman. I forget what. Oh, right: the sweet release of death..."

"I'm not sure if I've reached my life's goals yet, unless you'd say you've 'reached your life's goals' by watching upwards of twelve hours of Law & Order per day and writing menacingly sexual letters to Jill Hennessey..."

"Great design! Just wanted to let you know that before I took a pair of pinking shears to my throat. Oh, before I off myself-- did anyone see the last Entourage?"

"Not much new to report, except that I just stuck my hand in high-speed rotary lathe. Just got tired of having 'chubby fingers.' But I'm not sure if I like my new 'omnifinger' look..."

"You know, they always make it look easy, but tying a proper noose is a bitch and a half..."

"Just hangin' out, running my hands through the unwashed black mass of hair, listening to The Cure, watching The Craft, thinking about exciting new ways to apply eye-liner to my nostrils..."

"Wish I could say I had good news, but nope, still waitin' for that call from the warden. Eh, it's okay. The AIDS will probably get me first. Got me a real bad case of 'the skinnies' at this point..."

"I no longer have the energy to bathe myself, nor to get up from my bed to evacuate my bowels. So I just sort of stew in black pool of my own foul all day long..."

"Great site, guys! Just sittin' around, thinkin' about It's A Wonderful Life. You know George Bailey's problem? No follow through. Okay, see you in the next life!..."

What. The. Hell?

Has a computer program scanned through my words and diagnosed me -- and therefore all of my readers -- as debilitatingly-depressive shut-ins and desperately lonely pre-suicides?

Yeah... so, slicing off the clitoris of young girls may help preserve their chastity by making sex unenjoyable or even painful for them. But, let's face it, that's not going to stop men from being attracted to them and trying to have sex with them. Because it's not exactly the most obvious feature on a woman's body, even when she's naked.

Hell, even when you're in the area. Actually, I'd pay someone cash money to tell me what the hell it even is.

Anyway. Sorry to toss a joke in there. Did I mention, no sleep?

It's also a practice in Cameroon to iron down -- yes, with hot, makeshift IRONS -- a young girl's breasts until they almost entirely disappear.

A nationwide campaign is under way in Cameroon to discourage the widespread practice of "breast ironing".

This involves pounding and massaging the developing breasts of young girls with hot objects to try to make them disappear.

Statistics show that 26% of Cameroonian girls at puberty undergo it, as many mothers believe it protects their daughters from the sexual advances of boys and men who think children are ripe for sex once their breasts begin to grow.

The most widely used instrument to flatten the breasts is a wooden pestle, used for pounding tubers in the kitchen. Heated bananas and coconut shells are also used.

Student Geraldin Sirri recounted her painful experience.

"My mother took a pestle, she warmed it well in the fire and then she used it to pound my breasts while I was lying down. She took the back of a coconut, warmed it in the fire and used it to iron the breasts.

"I was crying and trembling to escape but there was no way."

Another woman from Mamfe in south-west Cameroon told me she ironed her own breasts as a girl so that she would not be forced into early marriage as is the practice in her village.

"I wanted to go to school like other girls who had no breasts," Emilia said.

And by "they," he means the New York Times, which is willfully helping Al Qaeda murder American civillians.

They've taken the position that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Well, it works the other way too, boys. "The friend of my enemy is also my enemy."

When did the anonymity and privacy of transnational corporations and dummy companies making large cross-border money-tranfers become such an important concern of left-leaning "civil liberties advocates," by the way?

As Dostoyevsky said, you judge a society by the way it treats corporations and shell companies moving large sums of money across national borders through the international banking system.

Hmmm. Learn something every day.

Ace, if the Left wants to protect the anonymity of major international financial transfers, perhaps they can start by doing so at home, and stop criticizing wealthy Americans for transferring their assets offshore in order to avoid the taxes they support.

Hell, they can begin *today* by repealing the IRS notification requirement for inter-personal transfers over $10,000. If Uncle Sam can't track $1 million dollar wire transfers to suspected terrorists, I don't see why he should be able to track my $11K I send to my brother/bookie/drug dealer here at home.

Somehow, however, I don't recall all these fairweather libertarians ever getting all up in arms over THOSE restrictions on our personal financial liberty. Must've slipped my mind while I was watching The O.C.

-- Dave at Garfield Ridge

More: Not "Persons," EVIL GREEDY TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS:

Actually, the press coverage and subsequent outrage by the left has ignored the facts of the matter, as stated by a writer to Instapundit:

"What has not been stressed is that SWIFT is not used for individuals. It is used for processing money transfers, stock transfers and bond transfers from companies, governments, banks, insurance companies and NGO's."

In other words, we're looking at the fake foundations and dummy corporations set up by terrorist sympathizers to hide/launder their support of terrorism.

I've corrected the post to include that info, making it all the more drollishly ironic.

PS, I get to make up new words today, too, like "drollishly."
