USA, where your privacy is decided by the decider and no one else.

U.S. President George W. Bush has joined the chairman of the House homeland security committee in denouncing the New York Times for publishing a story last week about a secret financial-monitoring program used to trace alleged terrorists.

“For people to leak that program and for a newspaper to publish it does great harm to the United States of America,” Bush said.

Bush added that the disclosure of the program “makes it harder to win this war on terror.”
