I tend to agree with you about the senate hearing unfortunate as it may be. The hearings should center around the travesty of taking down the largest saving and loan in the USA by the government and a private entity rather that selecting a few upper management types and raking them over the coals for doing exactly what hundreds of other banks perpetrated as far as bad loand are concerned. If would be nice if that Cantrell fro Washington State was on the committee and would subpoena the real culprits to testify to some real pertinent questions regarding the taking of WAMU.
