But as a midnight deadline for filing objections to the bankruptcy passed, Detroit's bondholders were conspicuously absent from the long list of unions, pension funds and individual creditors lining up to argue against bankruptcy.

The bondholders know that standard bankruptcy is the only path that will get them even pennies on the dollar. The unions want to grab ALL the assets and cash for themselves, as with GM.
