Matthews failed to challenge Wallace's claim that unless NY Times was "talking to terrorists," they couldn't have known terrorists were already aware of U.S. finance-tracking

SUMMARY: On Hardball, Chris Matthews left unchallenged White House communications director Nicolle Wallace's claim that "there is no way" The New York Times could discuss "terrorists already knowing about" a Treasury Department finance-tracking program reported by the Times and other newspapers "unless they're talking to terrorists." In fact, the Treasury Department's efforts to track terrorist finances by obtaining international banking records were already a matter of public knowledge prior to the publication of the Times article.
