...never thought that I would find myself quoting George Bush, that farfamed Point of Light. But I need to now. Crimson, read my lips: "Greater involvement in electoral politics" is not favored by anyone in PBHA, as far as I know. You are printing irresponsible articles based on misinformation.

President Bush, for his part, has declared money launderers a critical target in the war on drugs, allocating $15 million to launch a counteroffensive. While the sum is minuscule for the task, the declaration signals a change in philosophy for the Administration, which had resisted calls for tighter banking regulations. Only hours after Bush unveiled his antidrug offensive last September, a federal task force began taking shape. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FINCEN) hopes to zero in on money launderers with computer programs capable of spotting suspicious movements of electronic money...
