The result of our most recent poll was a blow out. We asked whether you thought Paul Wolfowitz was a victim or an embodiment of corruption at the World Bank. By a 93-7 percent margin you decided he was the latter.
You didn't buy the idea that he was toppled for trying to clean up a corrupt organization. This presumably means you accept the bank directors' argument that the ethics panel hadn't approved the pay rise and promotion Wolfowitz arranged for his girlfriend, even though the panel's chairman had written, apparently referring to the matter, that it "had been previously considered by the committee [and] did not contain new information warranting any further review."
