How can AT use those photos without a photographer credit?

"Financial Bailout Stars". Give me a break.

I'd really rather know where the homes of the idiots who invented Credit Default Swaps and the CEO's who gave themselves Multi-Million Dollar Golden Parachutes for driving their companies into the ground are...
...so we can throw eggs, rocks and old shoes at them.

CDS's were invented by a team at JPMorgan in the late 1990's. They are not bad things even though the market they trade on needs regulation and monitoring (both of which is happening at the end of this year). Who needs to be beaten are all the idiots that generated a speculative market on Mortgage Backed Securities, drove up home prices artificially (home prices have tracked earning power/inflation from 1940's until 2002), and are of primary responsibility for the illiquidity crisis.
But I digress... nice houses.

Palmetto:
They linked to the article where they retrieved the photos. That seems reasonable enough to me; they're certainly not taking credit for them.

AT is pretty lax about lifting other's photos, and I notice that there's now a photo credit.
