Seeded on Tue Apr 7, 2009 9:17 AM EDT (Wall Street Journal)

Of course there's no sympathy for the banks now, but remember the words of Pastor Niemoller First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist.
