Former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner lashes out at just about everybody in Washington in notes he intended to keep private that were uncovered by ProPublica in insurance giant AIG's ongoing trial against the government. Wrongheaded "populists," confused labor unions, ineffective bank regulators, disingenuous congressional Republicans, hostile reporters and gullible business leaders all are subjected to Geithner's disdain, accompanied by a full-throated -- if at times inconsistent -- defense of the bank bailouts. Geithner wrote the notes while working on his recent book, Stress Test: Reflections on Financial Crises, and they are neither a final, finished statement workshopped for rigor and consistency, nor intended for public release.
