Railroading WolfowitzMike Rappaport

While one cannot know what is in the World Bank Report, it seems pretty clear that the Europeans are trying to use this ethics issue as a means of opposing Wolfowitz’s policies.  Giving Wolfowitz 48 hours to respond is absurd and pretty much makes the case.  I don’t know what the US should do, but it certainly shouldn’t take this lying down.

Update: I really like Dan Simon’s comment: Consent to Wolfowitz’s departure, on the condition that he’s replaced with John Bolton.  While it might be unfair to Wolfowitz, it would expose the hypocrisy of the Europeans.
