I had not read the Washington Post piece but it sounds like the WSJ and Hitchens. Though much less strident. By focusing on the companion issue, they slide over the multiple other issues that have made his tenure at the WB so controversial. Most institutions I've been up close with have a mixture of sorts--including some staff that are perceived by everyone else to be quite level headed. Wolfowitz lost the levelheaded ones. The Financial Times had a short biographical tidbit on the WB vice president that called, publicly, for his resignation late last week. As the Financial Times presented it, he was speaking for the "level headed" crew. And my guess is that he was saying the controversy has reached the point that the WB can no longer function with Wolfowitz in office.
