Um þetta hefur margt verið ritað, meðal annars níu binda skýrsla sem rannsóknarnefnd skipuð af Alþingi tók saman og birt var árið 2010 og fjölmargar aðrar skýrslur, bækur og greinar. Það liggur því nokkuð vel fyrir hvað skýrði bankahrunið.

“Mistaken”
The Israeli military on Saturday acknowledged that the initial accounts from troops involved in the killing of 15 people in Gaza — who the UN said were rescue workers — had been partially “mistaken.” The assessment came after a video appeared to contradict the military’s earlier version of events.
Israel Says Its Account of Rescue Workers Killed in Gaza Was Partly ‘Mistaken’
The Israeli military had previously asserted that the workers had been “advancing suspiciously” toward its troops. A video obtained by The New York Times on Friday appeared to contradict that account.

Hvar finn ég sundurliðaðar upplýsingar um erlendar skuldir þjóðarbúsins í hlutfalli við verga landsframleiðslu?
