Less than 2 weeks later the Justice Department announces they are going after S&P for its role in rating the sub prime mortgage securutes as AAA and contributing to the 2008 market crash and collapse of the housing bubble. A week later the CEO of S&P is forced out and they put in the COO of technically insolvent CITI. What a signal to send to the other rating agencies...I highly doubt Moody's missed the message.
