Looking for a way out

Beleaguered World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz is due to meet with the Bank's board today and everyone seems to be looking for an easy way out of the crisis that has been bubbling away since the news became public that the randy Wolfman arranged for a cosy secondment at the US State Department, under US Vice President "I'm a Big" Dick Cheney’s daughter, with a hefty wage increase for his paramour who was also a Bank employee. The International Herald Tribune reports today that it is possible that Wolfowitz could resign in return for an acknowledgement that he acted in "good faith" and the Bank's ethics watchdogs were aware of what he had done and had approved of the moves.
