EU wants to end SWIFT cooperation now that the program's been outed

I hope Bill Keller of the NYT has take note that it didn’t take long for the consequences of his outing of a legal, effective, and previously covert anti-terrorism program to come to roost.

This was a blindingly obvious event that anyone without their heads stuck firmly into a Pulitzer trophy could see coming a mile off.
