Fitch is a relatively honest ratings company and wouldn't give MBI back their AAA rating so MBI wants Fitch to not rate them at all so MBI can say it is AAA rated.

S&P and Moodys apparently decided their reputations were already worthless, and unsalvageable at this point, so they kept AAA ratings.

Dealer: "Our securities are rated AAA by S&P and Moody's!"

Investor: "So what? So are MBIA and ABK! How does Fitch rate you?"
