Wolfowitz Faces New Allegations of Favoritism
World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz's bid to keep his job is becoming increasingly difficult amid new allegations related to work his girlfriend, a bank employee, did for a private contractor as the United States was preparing to invade Iraq.

In March of 2003, when Wolfowitz was still deputy secretary of defense and an architect of the war against Iraq, and Riza worked for the World Bank, the Defense department was hiring private contractors to help plan for a post-war Iraq.

One of those contractors was Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC). SAIC officials say they were told by the Pentagon to hire Riza. She worked for them for a month and traveled to Iraq. The assignment may have violated conflict of interest rules at the World Bank employees.

1. Victoria will tell us that there was no wrongdoing here - AGAIN!
Victoria told us that Libby did nothing wrong because Valeria Plame was not covert.

NOW - Victoria has another chance to practice her NOTHING! MOVE ON! defense.
