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:

It’s only a matter of time before we learn the program has been disbanded because of interrnational uproar and the Times takes its bow for having served global privacy interests. 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.
