The Toronto Star reports that Canadian officials -- like the Belgians -- are miffed about the SWIFT program. In a message alerting us to the article, Arizona Republic deputy editorial page editor Phil Boas comments:

We will have lost one of the precious advantages we enjoy in a war in which the terrorists play by no rules and know no bounds to their depravity and cruelty.
