MENA = "Middle East and North Africa"
Seems Paul W. manages internal affairs
Oh man! The World Bank has to be the home of the cushy sinecure!
But FOX News has analyzed more than 100 pages of internal bank documents dating to 2005 that paint a far more complex portrait of the case – and suggests that the bank’s own ethics committee had known the terms of the settlement with Riza for at least a year.
The documents show that while Wolfowitz did indeed dictate the lucrative terms of Riza’s salary to the bank’s human resources chief, he also took steps to try and determine if what he was doing was right – seemingly trying to navigate his way through an arcane bureaucracy with a maze of unusual rules and procedures.
The documents also show that, while many board members have claimed that they only learned the details of Riza’s case – and salary hike — this week in newspapers, the board’s Ethics Committee has been fully aware of all the details since early 2006, when it conducted a probe and determined that the allegations “did not appear appropriate for further consideration.”
The documents paint a more sympathetic picture of Wolfowitz and his efforts to deal with the situation than what’s been revealed in the press thus far. And they shine a light on the bank’s board as having far more knowledge of the case than members have let on in off-record talks with the media.
Get the conservative and hope it trickles down to President Bush.
Anything even faintly negative and tenousouly related to President Bush is “big” news. (Don’t tell them about that campaign worker who got a parking ticket last week.)
The libidots are making sure President Bush doesn’t get reelected.
It seems Wolf covered all the bases. There is no “there” there.
Disgusting that Wolfowitz is MARRIED and has an ARAB girlfriend!!! He needs to GO!
Huh??
There's some kind of revolving door between the 2 broken institutions, State and the WB?
Don't we have enough high paid flunkies (undermining the US) at State? And Wolfie is a conservative?
Gets you wondering: How smart is Wolfie doing this when he knows he has enemies everywhere? Scrap the question, the guy does not have enough foresight to wear good socks to the mosque.
