Report this evening from the Financial Times re the
unusually familiar melodrama that the international scoundrel
Wolfowitz -- last seen at the DOD wrecking the planet with his
kindred of Cain the Neocons -- is now leading a coup d'etat at the
serenely sluggish and strangely non-transparent yet unnoticed World
Bank. First reports from the backstairs where these sorts of coups
get played out -- daggers, emails, Walsingham codes -- is that
Wolfowitz's sinister scheme involves bringing in political ops from
the baldly Republican administration in Washington and letting them
vet the senior help that have been selflessly involved with
enterprises that appear wildly overbudget and unexplained.
Wolfowitz is said to have approved the use of accountants to study
the books. Do gentlemen examine other gentlemen's books??? Veteran
World Bank international civil servants are said to be in such
disrepair that they are blogging their upset in foreign
languages.
Prepare for the worst -- see key words: vanished billions,
mystery, U.S. Attorney.
