Look man, two wrongs do not make a right. ANYONE, democrat or Republican, who was involved in this fraud should be held accountable. We liberals do not argue morality from a political position. We argue morality according to human decency and the consitution of the United States. Lots of prosecutions are warrantd, MINUS the mob mentality. Cool, clam and collected, but serious. >> AIG folks who received bonuses now fear for their lives. Their identities are known and already some mob groups are picketing in front of their "iron gated" house (or shall we say mansions)... I hope we do not have violence but that this intimidation will cause these folks to return the bonuses voluntarily. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. I hope Americans will always stand up to intimidation. I don't even care about these bonuses, especially considering that Clinton's Treasury secretary single-handedly made $100M serving on the board of a bank that's now taken at least $25B of taxpayer's money. Why don't Robert Rubin and Hank Paulson return their money? The real scandal is the billions and billions being funneled through AIG to Goldman Sachs and foreign banks.<<

You ought to be ashamed of yourself. I don't know what you mean. why should I be ashamed of myself. I didn't take the bonuses. Neither did I condone violence. And as koan said, two wrongs do not make a thing right. These AIG folks do not have any right to legally ask for bonuses from taxpayers' money. Neither should they be intimidated.
