Paul Wolfowitz has started to stir things up at the World Bank by suspending aid to some countries whose leaders may be taking some of the aid money for themselves. Obviously, no one is for corruption expect those benefiting from it, and the common man seldom does. Yet, there seems to be a trace of the crusader with regard to his anti-corruption efforts, the same crusading zeal that wanted to bring democracy to Iraq. Some of his critics accuse him of making anti-corruption efforts his primary task and lowering the priority of alleviating poverty.
Who knows what the real story is? But, it does seem the first negative cloud in Wolfowotz's tenure at the bank.
