...idea of clamping down on executive pay before a firm is allowed to take part in the proposed $700 billion toxic-asset bailout program seems eminently reasonable. After all, we're talking about the very well-compensated execs - hello, eight figures - who ran the firms that drove the demand for the securities that caused the problems in the first place...

The Paulson plan is bigger in that regard than just about anything Bush asked for in the war on terror. Section eight of the proposal he sent to Congress says, for example, "Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency...
