A few thoughts on accountability on this day when yet another group is requesting a bailout via a large chunk of money from the government (i.e., us):

Tanta (writing on the blog Calculated Risk) argued that for every asset that banks unloaded on the government, the chief executives should be required to explain "why they acquired or originated this asset to begin with, what's really wrong with it in detail, what they have learned from this experience, and what steps they are taking to make sure it never happens again."
