Tempting. I def. wouldn't post them not to where a search engine could get to it at least. I could only imagine the feeling you have. You could blow the whistle and throw a huge wrench in the works.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Monday that the severe banking crisis shows the U.S. financial system failed a major test and is in need of an overhaul.
Geithner told a Washington conference that the Obama administration plans to work with Congress to put in place a stronger, more stable system with a modernized government regulatory structure.
"Our system basically failed its most fundamental test," he said in remarks to a conference sponsored by the Wall Street Journal. "It was too fragile."
The Treasury and the Federal Reserve released a joint statement Monday that spells out the different responsibilities of the two agencies in dealing with the financial crisis. In the most noteworthy part of the agreement, Treasury said it would take over the Fed's holding of assets of Bear Stearns and American International Group. Treasury did not say how it would pay for these programs and said it would only make the move "in the longer term and as its authorities permit." The Fed's investments in the three funds, known as Maiden Lane, totaled $72.21 billion in the latest week, according to Fed statistics.
I have what some might consider a really stupid idea, why don't they just discipline themselves with what they have already done? How about trying some actual capitalism for once and let the banks fail. Let the market clean itself out.
