When Jim Wolfensohn was leaving the World Bank and speculation
was rife as to who would succeed him, worldbankpresident.org
was everybody’s favorite one-stop shop for news and rumors.
Now, of course, there’s even more World Bank President gossip going around
than there was back in 2005. So the blog has been gloriously resuscitated with
everything you ever wanted to know about Paul Wolfowitz, Shaha
Riza, the long list of people calling for Wolfowitz’s ouster, and the
much shorter list of Wolfowtiz defenders.
This story is about much more than pay hikes, or even Riza’s
2003 job in Iraq, which seemingly was obtained for her by Wolfowitz. Indeed,
Alex Wilks has more than ten
reasons why Wolfowitz
should go. Which doesn’t, of course, mean that he will.
