Dragynn's Lair

[Dragynn]

An updated post of links to DD and Wamu info, have added links from recent events, EC info, links to audio from hearing of 1-28-10.

Feel free to use as you see fit, mods may add anywhere appropriate.

And any other board in any place, send to your representatives, to media, to the Congressional committee investigating the financial meltdown, wherever.

The truth shall set you free.
