I don't think you quite get the issue there. The problem with AIG is that the executives have threatened to sue if they don't get the bonuses they were granted before the bailout took place. I.e. they are arguing that the controls in place dont apply to them. We might agree or not on whether the whole bonus issue is even relevant, but there is no change in tune there.
