Give AIG and Merrill Lynch Executives A Bonus - "A Trip To Guantanamo"

Where will this economic terrorism end??? This is ludicrous! We have sent international terrorists to Guantanamo for several years, why not send Economic Terrorists on a Trip to Guantanamo courtesy of the U.S. Taxpayer!

According to The Wall Street Journal, the public may soon know the names of hundreds of top bankers at Merrill Lynch who received hefty bonuses prior to that company’s merger with Bank of America. Merrill Lynch paid out $3.6 billion in bonuses before it was rescued by its merger with Bank of America.

Bank of America, which has received tens of billions of dollars in taxpayer funds since that merger, recently tried to prevent the disclosure, claiming the banker’s names and salary data are protected by trade secret law. This argument was made in Bank of America’s legal action against New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who requested the bankers’ names and salaries.

On March 18, a New York state judge denied the trade secret claim.

So publish the names (on a ticket, destination - Guantanamo!)
