Media Matters - Wash. Post still reporting GOP attacks over bonuses while ignoring IG testimony implicating Bush administration
A Washington Post article reported that "Republicans have seized on the AIG issue in the belief that it has the potential to link Obama more closely to the widely unpopular $700 billion bailout legislation for the financial sector -- legislation that was crafted in the Bush administration." But the article did not note that a Bush-appointed special inspector general for TARP stated in congressional testimony that the Bush administration Treasury Department knew about the AIG bonus contracts and did not insist on their abrogation as a condition of AIG's receiving bailout money.

Gunman kills 3 officers, wounds 4th in Oakland
Gunman kills 3 officers, wounds 4th in Oakland:
"A police officer was battling for his life and three more were dead after a parolee with an 'extensive criminal history' opened fire at a routine traffic stop and hours later gunned down members of a SWAT team searching for him.
The gunman was also killed Saturday, capping a day of violence that the Oakland Police Department said was the worst in its history. Never before had three police officers died in the line of duty on the same day."
