World Bank Panel Finds Wolfowitz at Fault
Edited on Mon May-07-07 03:03 PM by spanone
Take a hike wolfie....


~snip~ WASHINGTON, May 7 — Paul D. Wolfowitz came under renewed pressure to resign as World Bank president today as a bank committee formally transmitted its findings that he was guilty of a conflict of interest in arranging for a pay raise and promotion in 2005 to Shaha Ali Riza, his companion.

The contents of the panel’s findings were not made public. People who are familiar with the panel’s report said that it reviewed extensive documents and testimony before concluding that Mr. Wolfowitz breached his obligations in arranging for Ms. Riza’s reassignment from the bank to the State Department.

In another sign of Mr. Wolfowitz’s difficulties, his top communications aide, Kevin Kellems, resigned today, saying that “the current environment surrounding the leadership” at the bank made it “very difficult to be effective in helping to advance the mission of the institution.”

Wolfie now will say that the truth is one of the co-conspirators
that is trying to destroy his credibility.
