The link is writen in Dutch so I'll translate it here this should pop up in the international media as well.

Basically, they think it's a fraud and the European burocrats are coming for their asses watch out.

May be
Last week they placed on "creditwatch negative" Ireland, Greece and Spain.
Since the rating agencies use rating as a political weapon, the EU legal action could be an answer to the move of S&P against those 3 EU countries.

Oh well, since they didn't lower the rating on Lehman until it defaulted, I reckon that their "creditwatch negative" is a buy signal
