Reuters. We'll see how the story gets spun elsewhere.

I had some lovely UK relatives visiting me this week, and they told me that "most" Brits "assume" that Pres Bush is a liar and Tony Blair is toast. Umm, yeah. These particular UKers (university-affiliated), anyway, have a totally different way of looking at the world than we. It's very confusing to me how they can make such pronouncements and believe them.

Seriously, I'm much more worried about the World Bank involvement than the Reuters speculation right now.

How so?

I'm guessing that the choice of the World Bank and IMF was to get the money out of French, etc. banks, and to avoid the outcry and favortism to be alleged if the money were shifted to US, Brit and Spanish banks.

We'll see what the Iraqis do in the future. I'm depressed about the lack of Iraqi voices and protests over the UN hold on its money. It's their money after all.
