I’ve been following the substantive issues on AIG (not the ridiculous and microscopic bonus hysteria) on some of the financial blogs and it does seem that AIG has been funneling BILLIONS of its “bailout” buck$ to foreign banks which indeed were supporting private hedge funds.
I’m not sure that the probable but unprovable “funding terrorism” angle is eclipsed by the more certain “funding hedge funds” angle.
Especially since the hedge funds have been betting against America for many years and now American taxpayers are effectively paying them off.
It makes sense when you factor in the Sept. 11, 2008 550 billion dollar run on the US Treasury. Now I understand why Bush was so shaken.
