The transcript of the Coll interview is the one to look at for getting a feel for Riza's aggressiveness and feminist self-pity. My reading is that Professor Anderson's story is plausible, though I find equally plausible the theory that the Bankers were trying to focus responsibility on Wolfowitz so they would have a trap to spring in case he became too troublesome to them. Yet a third theory is that they were following a prime rule of bureaucracy: flee responsibility for making any controversial decision and preserve your freedom to use hindsight to condemn whatever choice is made.Eric Rasmusenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01609599580545475695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7506249.post-18118960666415787552007-05-18T06:48:00.000-05:002007-05-18T06:48:00.000-05:00Could you direct me to the evidence you have suppo...Could you direct me to the evidence you have supporting your contention that the bank was targeting Riza as much as Wolfowitz?<BR/><BR/>Also, couldn't Wolfowitz have declined the job at the World Bank, when offered, on the grounds of it being a potential conflict of interest given his friend worked at the institution? It would have demonstrated Wolfowitz's sensitivity to ethical issues and his respect for his girlfriend's career. It would have been the honorable thing to do. I suspect this gentleman would have received other job offers.marklewinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05415072546941609808noreply@blogger.com
