Wolf at the Door

I have, in these past five years, considered Paul Wolfowitz to be my mortal enemy. If I were a superhero (and how do you know I'm not) he might be considered my greatest nemesis. However, in light of information that is new to me, I am officially retracting my invocation of the Thaksin Shinawatra rule and my public call for Wolfowitz's resignation from the World Bank.

The White House has made a consistent practice of supporting their favorites in spite of overwhelming evidence of incompetence and/or corruption. That category includes Paul Wolfowitz. Nevertheless, it now seems to me that a number of World Bank staffers may simply be out to get him; probably with good reason, but that's a separate issue.
