I completely agree, these are just loans and shouldn't be a back door way of the government taking control of businesses. Especially doing it retroactively makes it even more unacceptable. AIG is different though, I think the government actually bought them and will get a share of profits not a loan repayment. In that case, a small amount of meddling there seems appropriate, if for no other reason than to make sure they know that someone is keeping an eye on what they're doing.
