Call The WAAAHMBULANCE

Not in favor of harassing people, of course, but nor do I believe that this is a real concern.

March 19 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Treasury Department refused to disclose names of Citigroup Inc. executives who haggled over bailout terms in late 2008 after the bank said they might be harassed like the American International Group Inc. workers pilloried for taking big bonuses.

The names were blacked out from 1,792 pages of e-mails and documents released to Bloomberg News in response to an August 2009 Freedom of Information Act request tied to the bank’s $45 billion bailout. The Treasury also blacked out contents of some of the e-mails, saying they were internal deliberations exempt from disclosure.
