Reposting the links here. IMHO!

In July, Bair said that the two agencies again disagreed, this time over whether whether to downgrade WaMu's safety and soundness rating. When the disagreement was discussed in September 2008 by the FDIC board, Bair said the OTS "strongly disagreed" with the downgrade but that they relented and lowered WaMu's rating to the same level as the FDIC's assessment.
