Refresh me on what Bush did to protect the sources of terror funding
There was something they did, not long after they got in. I can't recall the specifics, but it had to do with, I think, pulling back all the investigations into the sources of terror funding?

Was that it or was it something else?

No one has mentioned it in a long long time; has it been forgotten?

1. Perhaps this

"EARLY 2001 – WHITE HOUSE DEPARTS FROM EFFORTS TO TRACK TERRORIST MONEY: The new Bush Treasury Department "disapproved of the Clinton Administration's approach to money laundering issues, which had been an important part of the drive to cut off the money flow to bin Laden." Specifically, the Bush Administration opposed Clinton Administration-backed efforts by the G-7 and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development that targeted countries with "loose banking regulations" being abused by terrorist financiers. Meanwhile, the Bush Administration provided "no funding for the new National Terrorist Asset Tracking Center." "

2. Yeah that was it
Doesn't this relate to the overall goals of plamgate, etc. Foster terror for profit and empowerment ?
