>>The bank's board created the investigative panel to look into allegations of misconduct by Mr. Wolfowitz and has been debating for several days what, if any, action to take to resolve the controversy. >>There's your answer right there. The board has been looking into this for weeks, they want to get rid of Wolfie, and they can't find anything he has done wrong. In a statement submitted to the investigating committee, the bank's former general counsel, Roberto Danino, said Mr. Wolfowitz "made serious, substantive errors" in his handling of the situation. Hmmmm. These errors are so serious and substantive that he can't describe them for us? The guy is a lawyer. List the errors in detail.<< Elroy - The answer to your concerns is in the next two paragraphs of the story. "Late last night, the board issued a statement saying the investigative panel had completed its latest round of interviews, and would 'expeditiously prepare' a report for the full board. The statement said the board is 'committed to the earliest possible resolution of the matter,' and a senior bank official said it appeared the board could issue a substantive declaration on Mr. Wolfowitz by the end of the week. "The board has debated a range of disciplinary options. It has recently been exploring whether a face-saving compromise could be reached that would allow Mr. Wolfowitz to step down, while avoiding a harsh condemnation of his actions." The investigation has only just been completed, and they are not going to publicly discuss the details yet. It wouldn't be fair to Mr. Wolfowitz to do so until they have made a final determination. Even then, they may keep the details private in the interest of discretion. - Allen
