Wolfowitz is innocent? Needs more time to defend himself.

The White House released a press statement on Wednesday urging the need for the World Bank to give Paul Wolfowitz a "fair process and a fair hearing of the facts". Robert Bennett, Wolfowitz's attorney have also been trying to press the bank into giving his client more time to defend himself against the allegation of abusing company resource his own benefit. Bennett have told the press that the administration (World Bank) is still deliberating in the evidence surrounding the allegation. Wolfowitz might be in trouble, however, since France have involved itself in the matter and have been voicing strong opinion towards a speedier trial.

Well I usually don't align myself with a country that have never won a single war battle since the dawn of time, but France is totally right. What more can he say? The evidence is clear, and his actions were not "in good faith" as he claimed several weeks ago. What is more puzzling than his failure to admit to guilt is how the Bush administration have chosen to back him up the whole way. Just as Bush had done with the Alberto Gonzales' controversy. Loyalty runs deep in this administration.
