I was not saying there was an exception for Wolfowitz and I honestly think initially his ethics committee was doing a decent job except as they are composed of political hacks that where possibly rubbing their hands as they read him chapter and verse.

I am saying, that the way it was handled seems proper to me and that all things considered what happened was a proper outcome. My point is that this is an entirely manufactured scandal for the purpose of hurting Wolfowitz and the administration and protecting corruption at the World Bank.

I frankly believe that the World Bank is a hopelessly corrupt enterprise if Wolfowitz can't fix it. If he gets put out the door, the World Bank should be completely defunded and ejected from the United States. If the US wants to have an agency like this, we should fund it and manage it ourselves ALA the Federal Reserve.

Yes, as George Will noted here http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1832409/posts the need for such institutions has long passed. Right now it only serves to launder and transfer US taxpayers’ money to corrupt regimes.

If they have no “confidence” in Wolfowitz’s leadership, who is to say that we should have any “confidence” in a demonstrably corrupt institution.
