Not content with being one of the neo-con architects of what became the Iraq War - and all that has led to - it would appear from this article on Alternet that Wolfowitz has caused ructions at the World Bank since becoming its President. Many key personnel have left.
Maybe that's not a bad thing, but it's the people whom Wolfowitz has "taken aboard" as his close advisors and administrators that is the worry - like a former communications and spokesman for VP Dick Cheney......
"Senior Bank staff sees Wolfowitz withdrawing from the Bank's senior professionals and relying instead on a group of political operatives, zealots and ideologues. The current confusion and concern of the staff of the Bank over the direction of this global institution is best reflected in the results of the institution's own staff survey, released only last week. When asked: "Do you have a good understanding of the direction in which World Bank Group senior management is leading the institution?" only 48 per cent of respondents answered favourably, in contrast to a 67 per cent favourable response during the previous staff survey in 2003".
