A source tells The Wall Street Journal that the New York attorney general plans to subpoena AIG for information on its credit default swaps, so that he can assess for himself the validity of AIG CEO Edward Liddy's claims that the company needed its employees' expertise to unwind its books. Especially the British ones. [WSJ]
