I just dont get the problem about banks.
I have read around extensively and every commentator and article I have been able to find takes for granted that banks must be bailed out and that any failure to do so will have catastrophic consequences: not one of them says why, with the honourable exception of an article from the Cato Journal: a neoliberal body, so far as I can tell, which does not agree with this otherwise almost complete consensus.

I haven't read this report yet, but since you mentioned you were looking for a report on the rationale for bailing out banks, here's one.

picked up from the (often very alarmist, and highly neoliberal in most ways) zerohedge blog.
