Neoconservative University?

Paul Wolfowitz is in the soup. He gave his paramour or partner, a Ms. Shaha Riz , a hefty pay raise at the World Bank to what the board considers an outrageous salary totally out of line with anything in the history of the World Bank. Mr. Wolfowitz was a neoconservative member of the USA State Department. He was appointed by President Bush, who also pushed for Harriet Myers to be on the Supreme Court, to be the head of the World Bank, and was accepted as such. From the BBC: In an editorial, Britain's Financial Times newspaper called for Wolfowitz to step down. "If the president stays, (the World Bank) risks becoming an object not of respect, but of scorn, and its campaign in favour of good governance not a believable struggle, but blatant hypocrisy," it said. Ms Riza had been a high-ranking communications employee at the bank working in the Middle East section. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6550995.stm I am certainly no better than Wolfie in any moral sense, nor do I wish to judge. However, there is a certain familiar refrain: Mr Wolfowitz - a former US deputy secretary of defence - at first denied that he was involved in the decision about Ms Riza's salary, but later admitted: "I made a mistake, for which I am sorry." I guess they all matriculated at Tangled Web U.
