but (do anyone correct me if I am wrong) not ALL CDOs are subprime-mortgage-backed debt.

Though 'CDO' may not be quite as general a blanket term for packaged debt that I think it is, in which case maybe it's not such a major point, but see

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collateralized_debt_obligation

Of course, other products that are described as CDOs may well be individually dodgy in their very own special ways... but that's not what the article you linked to was specifically pointing to.
