"The Nastiest Character Assassination"

This blog is not new to scandals, even if we talk about big, huge scandals like the Annans-COTECNA-OilForFood one. My position is quite clear in these cases: there stand the smart-ass, there lies the unveiled scandal, here I am trying to put down a comment or a timeline to a complex scam or a horrible plot.
But in this case things are terrible and yet the scandals that many newspaper where bitching about is not even there. When it comes to the Wolfowitz-Riza situation, well you might wanna point your camera in other two or three directions. I'm not saying that this is a lucid global plan, we both know that if two people rows in the same direction the boat goes towards the same target. All I'm saying is that the more I read about this the more I think that when the media, and the high-ops of the World Bank and some Euro-Asian pressure did to them and, by that to the countries of the third world that were the target of the World Bank is simply unspeakable.
They could as well say to the press that the anti-corruption campaign operated by Wolfowitz wasn't actually meeting too many agendas.

Here is a great article talking about this, by the never resting Christopher Hitchens.

What's extraordinary for me is:

• that the so-called MSM never realize who Shaha Riza was and how pathetic and unpresentable were those accusations
• that they all eagerly and pathetically tried to have Shaha Riza pass for just a girlfriend of Wolfowitz (this demonstrates that even the most politically correct and heart bleeding liberals when it comes to middle east and women's parity together with the name of a person (Wolfowitz) who proved to be the best director of the World Bank and totally immune to scandals and by the way, close to the Administration, well they're read to lapidate her.
• the rest of the world keeps bumping into me repeating... hhhmmmm, don't know exactly the facts but the newspaper this morning said it was a big scandal and a case of corruption so it has to be that way

The real deal of this post had to come at the end. Here is an interview with Chrystia Freeland, in the end pay attention on the enthusiasm about how brave and great they were to be the first to publish the non-scandal about Wolfowitz. Beside the fact that she seems to present a gossip tabloid. One thing is sure: I'll never buy the Financial Times.
