World Bank is going to probe Wolfowitz's promotion of his girlfriend
The World Bank board is probing whether the promotion of a female staffer involved with President Paul Wolfowitz possibly violated staff rules, according to a note to bank employees yesterday.

The board, made up of representatives and advisers of the bank’s 185 member countries that oversees its day-to-day operations, said in the note dated April 5 that it had met “concerning a possible violation of staff rules in favour of a staff member closely associated with the President”.

“They have decided to acquire all the information related to this matter and will respond to the issues raised as soon as possible, in accordance with their responsibilities,” it said.

The controversy erupted this week when the bank’s Staff Association questioned the promotion and pay increase of Shaha Riza who was given an external bank assignment to the US.

1. Cracks me up that she doesn't even work there---she works at the
State Department (I reckon she's on 'detail' there---paid by the World Bank but working a long-term assignment at State). Looking at her background (SAIC employment) I'm guessing she's some sort of CIA shill. I wonder what her real motive is for getting close to this slimeball?

4. Why did this man leave the DOD, anyway? Don't they need hiim to
make the World Bank carry out the agenda of Israel and the U.S.? He - PNAC architect, leader of the plan to take the resources of the earth and control its inhabitants?

I admit. Hold low opinion.
