Charities' horror over new head of World Bank

London Evening Standard | March 17 2005

British aid charities today attacked "truly terrifying" plans to appoint George Bush's leading hawk on Iraq as the head of the World Bank.

Paul Wolfowitz, the deputy US defence secretary and the man credited with dreaming up the war against Saddam Hussein, was nominated by President Bush for the top job last night.

But because the World Bank controls billions of pounds of aid to the Third World, the move was greeted with anger among development agencies and anti-poverty groups.

Former international development secretary Clare Short said the proposed appointment was "two fingers to the world" and urged European countries to veto it.

A senior source within a British aid agency, on condition of anonymity, said: "This is truly terrifying."

Mr Wolfowitz, 61, is the leading "neo conservative" in the Bush administration.

He was previously US ambassador to Indonesia and served in the administration of Mr Bush's father during the 1991 Gulf war.
