if you look at that list you'll realize that the American taxpayer and government is now throwing away money to non-US financial institutions. basically if AIG didn't receive the bailout money it would have went bankrupt and wouldn't have been able to pay out the CDS insurance the international banks bought from AIG, and the US would lose face in the financial world. anyway, all this at the cost of the US taxpayer and the people of the US. we are using government/taxpayer money which should be staying in the US at a time when our economy is hurting and giving it to international institutions now. i have a feeling this is one reason they want to keep it secret. they don't want the US public to see that the actual bailout money going into AIG is leaving the US at a time when we need it most to non-US financial institutions.
another thing i see ironic about this whole mess is while the government is at a time taking away our privacy rights, they are saying these institutions who are receiving our money deserve privacy. OK USA!!!!
