Don't deposit Wolfowitz with us, plead World Bank workers

Now I understand the fuss about Wolfowitz and the World Bank: "Staff at the World Bank fear Mr Wolfowitz might push through longstanding US proposals to make it an organisation that gives out grants rather than loans. 'It's much easier to politicise grants,' an official said. 'Loans have to be economically feasible.'
Hmmm that's an issue impacting potentially directly on development and the like.
