CT Blog Experts Interviewed on SWIFT Disclosures

By Andrew Cochran

On June 23, Victor Comras posted, "Reports of US Monitoring of SWIFT Transactions Are Not New: The Practice Has Been Known By Terrorism Financing Experts For Some Time," in which he quoted from a 2002 UN report which briefly discussed the SWIFT program. Numerous media outlets have since interviewed Victor about his exclusive disclosure, including the Boston Globe and New York Times today, and Wolf Blitzer read the pertinent quote from the UN report today on CNN's "Situation Room."

Dennis Lormel, who also posted on his key role in the SWIFT program on June 23, was also interviewed by CNN for today's story, as well as by NBC and other media outlets.
