First of all the information comes from SWIFT a Belgian operation that keeps track of worldwide financial transactions. The United States' monitoring of these transactions has been known since 2002. This information was incorporated into a United Nations Security Council report in 2002, which is available on the UN Website.

In other words the NY Times "scoop" isnt news at all. This information has been out there for years.
Today was in the news that Swift and the Belgian National Bank did know all this for the past 4 years, but the government knew nothing about this. So this wasn't public.
