This is awesome:
The European Parliament demanded Thursday that European institutions in Brussels and European governments disclose how much they knew about a secret American program to tap into international banking data.
In a resolution that reflected rising concern among Europeans about their countriesโ cooperation in the United Statesโ effort to curb terrorism, the Parliament voted 302 to 219, with 22 abstentions, to demand that the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the European Unionโs 25 member states โexplain fully the extent to which they were aware of the secret agreementโ between Swift, an international banking consortium, and the United States government.
Didnโt anyone tell the European Parliament that everyone knew about the SWIFT program all along?
