Wolfowitz asked to resign from World Bank

I don't know if you've been following the brew-ha-ha that has sparked up over (among other things) Wolfie's latest attempt to use someone else's treasury as if it were his own, but since this refuses to go away, and now the IEG group has called officially for him to resign, I thought this should be reposited for history's sake.

United Press International - NewsTrack - Top News - Wolfowitz asked to resign from World Bank:

"WASHINGTON April 23 (UPI) -- An agency that oversees the World Bank is asking for the resignation of the bank's president, former deputy U.S. Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz.

In a document obtained by the Financial Times, the Independent Evaluation Group asked for Wolfowitz's immediate resignation, saying a continuation of his leadership will lead to 'irreparable harm to worldwide efforts in poverty reduction and sustainable development.'"
