Now I am not so sure. Evidently World Bank officials are cool to requests by W&#8217;s new attorney Robert Bennett to lay out the case for the embattled bank president. I don&#8217;t have any inside information on this, but I am becoming increasingly suspicious that the real issue here is not Wolfowitz&#8217;s behavior toward his girl friend, but far bigger fish &#8211; the Iraq War and, yet more importantly, Wolfowitz&#8217;s professed struggle against corruption among recipients of World Bank aid. This seems to me a genuinely good (and necessary) fight against a group of highly-entrenched (and often self-deceiving) adversaries. Was Wolfowitz fighting it well? I have no idea. But I would imagine it&#8217;s not easy. Indeed, this latest refusal even to hear his defense is an indication of just how hard it is.]]>Tue, 24 Apr 2007 15:08:16 -0400<![CDATA[Roger L.
