http://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/press/monetary/20080122b.htm Federal Reserve's most recent, emergency action stated in plain words.

http://stlouisfed.org/news/speeches/2008/01_09_08.html Fed's most recent action one by an 8-1 vote. This is the most recent (Jan 9th) speech by the dissenting voter, Mr. Poole, President of the St. Louis Federal Reserve. Explains the subprime crisis and supports his belief that the emergency actions were premature, as they came unexpectedly a week before a scheduled Federal Open Market Committee meeting.
