One of the disgraced architects of the Iraq Aggression was former Deputy War Secretary Paul Wolfowitz. He was rewarded for this debacle by being named head of the World Bank. Apparently his role in a destructive war gave him the necessary credentials to head an agency supposedly designed around constructive development.
Then again, this is not sarcastic. After all, one of his predecessors as head of the bank was Vietnam architect Robert McNamara.
As part of the Bush administration, Wolfowitz was clearly trained in the art of secrecy, opacity and obfuscation and came to abhorr accountability.
Apparently, Wolfowitz has transplanted this mismanagement style to the Bank.
