A grand justification for the greed that's bringing down the mortgage industry and wreaking havoc on credit generally...

As you might expect, they are now self-righteously blaming those, such as Countrywide, who did what they were told.

Golly, we were just trying to help the kids. Think of the children.

Uh-huh. That criticism is just a leee-tle bit "off balance".
