U.S. Lacks Plan to Curb Terror Funds, Agency Says, NYT

The government's efforts to help foreign nations cut off the supply of money to terrorists…have been stymied by infighting among American agencies, leadership problems and insufficient financing, a new Congressional report says.

Senator Charles E. Grassley, the Iowa Republican who leads the Senate Finance Committee…said he was disappointed…"they haven't gotten very far yet".….Mr. Grassley said: "It's as simple as learning to stop the infighting and turf protection and get on with the job.”
