According to the AJC of June 24, 2006, The New York Times quoted Bill Keller Executive Editor of The New York Times, as saying the secret financial inquiry program that tracked terrorist money was, "a matter of public interest".
I agree that it is a matter of public interest. That is why I am glad ole Bill is not 112 years old. I came up with that number because I estimate that a person would have to be about 50 years old to be an Executive Editor of The Prestigious New York Times and it has been 62 years since Normandy was invaded.
I think we can all agree the terrorist-tracking program is "a matter of public interest". I am also certain that D-Day was "a matter of public interest". That being so, Mr. Keller would have been compelled to tell the interested U.S. population and the interested entire world ... "Here we come, Mr. Hitler and here is where we are coming and Patton's army is a subterfuge, and etc, and etc."
Would I kid u?
