No wonder the World Bank is screwed up, the board isn't sure if nepotism is against the rules.



Puh-lease. The World Bank is as big a hotbed of nepotism as the UN, and Wolfowitz declared his relationship with this woman, which was of long standing, when he went to the World Bank and she was already there.

I'm not sure what is going on here, but I can tell you for certain sure that it is NOT a genuine display of outrage over nepotism.

Do you have any evidence of nepotism, or are you just convicting him without trial?

Do you realize that he requested to be recused from any employment/career decisions regarding his girlfriend, and was denied recusal by the board?
