Despite this controversy, Keller decided to go forward with publishing a story on another classified program to monitor terrorist-related financial transactions through the Brussels, Belgium-based Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) on June 23, 2006. Keller's decision to publish additional classified information on the front page of The New York Times has caused a considerable uproar and may result in further investigation by the US Justice Department. Many commentators, [1] as well as some elected officials such as U.S. Congressman Peter T. King, [2] called for the U.S. Justice Department to prosecute The New York Times and the confidential sources who leaked the existence of this counter-terrorism program despite relevant statutes that forbid revealing classified information that may threaten national security, especially in a time of war.

In an attempt to respond to criticism stemming from the disclosure of the classified Terrorist Finance Tracking Program, the NSA program's official name, Keller stated in a published letter that President Bush himself had acknowledged as early as September 2001 that efforts were underway to "to identify and investigate the financial infrastructure of the international terrorist networks" and "to follow the money as a trail to the terrorists." Keller's critics, including U.S. Treasury Secretary John W. Snow, responded to Keller's letter by pointing out that there is a vast difference between stating general intentions to track terrorist finances and the exact means employed to achieve those goals. Certain commentators [3] have made the analogy to the difference between the World War II Western Allies' stated intention to liberate Nazi-occupied Western Europe and revealing the exact plan to invade Normandy in June 1944. Moreover, Secretary Snow noted in his own published letter addressed to Keller that terrorists "have continued to [use] the formal financial system, which has made this program incredibly valuable."
