World Bank hears Wolfowitz case
World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz has met the bank's 24-member board to
respond to allegations of favouritism.
Mr Wolfowitz is under pressure to go after a panel said he had broken the
bank's code of conduct by helping secure a pay rise for his girlfriend.
The board has the power to dismiss the embattled president.
A lawyer for Mr Wolfowitz said he had presented a strong case and got a fair
hearing. The board is due to meet again on Wednesday to consider its decision.
Earlier in the day, the White House said it still supported Mr Wolfowitz, but
added that all options were still open.
"We've made clear that we support Paul Wolfowitz", said spokesman Tony Snow,
adding that the bank's "best interests" also had to be served.
After the hearing in Washington Mr Wolfowitz's lawyer Robert Bennett said:
"We presented to them overpowering evidence that he acted at all times in the
interests of the bank and in good faith."
He added that his client's performance justified "the full support he has
from leadership in the White House".
'Not a firing offence'
However the Reuter news agency quoted an unnamed European source as saying
the US had failed to win the support of key allies in the group of seven
leading industrialised nations (G7).
"Japan was aligned with the United States, but others, including Canada, were
against Wolfowitz continuing," the source said following a conference call of
G7 officials.
The G7 also includes Italy, France, Germany and Britain.
On Monday, a panel of World Bank executives said Mr Wolfowitz provoked a
"conflict of interest" at the bank by breaking its code of conduct and
violating the terms of his contract.
Mr Wolfowitz has faced calls for him to step down since details emerged about
his role in securing a pay rise for his partner, Shaha Riza, who used to work
at the bank.
Mr Snow told journalists at the White House that Mr Wolfowitz agreed "a lot
of mistakes were made" in the process, but they were not a "firing offence".
When Mr Wolfowitz was appointed president of the World Bank in 2005, Ms Riza
was transferred to work for the US state department, to avoid any conflict of
interest.
But her salary rose quickly to about $193,000 (￡98,000) - more than the
$186,000 that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice receives before tax.
The World Bank has since been investigating the extent of Mr Wolfowitz's role
in securing the pay increase.

Falwell's legacy: faith, hate or Teletubbies?
POSTED: 8:20 p.m. EDT, May 15, 2007
By Jonathan Mandell
CNN
(CNN) -- "When I have children one day," Samantha Krieger of Dallas, Texas,
wrote to CNN.com, "they will know of the legacy that Dr. Jerry Falwell left."
But what will that legacy be?
To Krieger, who had personal connections to Falwell -- she attended the
college he founded; he officiated at her wedding; her husband was his nurse
-- the evangelist "was a great leader and hero."
Victoria Kidd of Winchester, Virginia, believes the exact opposite: "The
damage he has done to the Christian faith is immeasurable," she wrote to
CNN.com
Others would prefer to think that he has no legacy at all.
"He should be erased from every history book and media story," wrote Brian
Pippinger of St. Petersburg, Florida.
Jerry Falwell was the evangelical minister who founded the Moral Majority,
the Christian right political movement, in 1980. He died Tuesday at age 73,
and it's clear from the differing assessments of his legacy that he was a
controversial figure.
Matt Foreman, head of the National Lesbian and Gay Task Force, calls Falwell
"a founder and leader of America's anti-gay industry. His lasting legacy will
be the polarization of the American electorate and the rise of Christian
evangelicals as a political force in American politics."
Gene Mims, a trustee of Liberty University, which Falwell founded as
Lynchburg Baptist College in 1971, says he "pulled us all towards faith."
More narrowly, Mims says that Falwell's founding of the university will be
his specific, lasting legacy. "For the past 10 years, that was his focus."
That seems to be what the Rev. Billy Graham believes, as well. "His
accomplishments went beyond most clergy of his generation," Graham said in a
statement. "Some of my grandchildren have attended, and are attending,
Liberty University. "
Susan Friend Harding, a professor of anthropology at the University of
California Santa Cruz, studied Falwell and his movement beginning in the
1980s, culminating in a book published in 2000, "The Book of Jerry Falwell:
Fundamentalist Language and Politics."
"I see him as a major figure in American political and religious history,"
says Harding, who considers him the principal leader who brought
fundamentalists back into the mainstream of society. "Jerry Falwell led
fundamentalism out of political and cultural exile in the 1980s. He did so
most famously as the leader of the Moral Majority in 1980s, but also through
his national radio and TV ministry, Liberty University and countless sermons,
campaigns, rallies, speeches, publications, broadcasts and debates over his
50-year career as a preacher. Under his leadership, fundamentalists
transformed themselves from a marginal, anti-worldly separatist people into a
visible and vocal force and reintroduced vigorous religious speech into
American public life.
"Fundamentalists had been a separatist movement," Harding says, "which was
stigmatized even by other Protestants" for three-quarters of a century, ever
since their "self-imposed exile" after the Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925, which
was ostensibly about the teaching of evolution in the schools, but in effect
put fundamentalist intolerance on trial. "Falwell openly and actively
disavowed the separatism."
Before Falwell, in the world of fundamentalist evangelicals, Harding says,
"being a minister or a missionary was the highest calling. Now it's to be a
Supreme Court justice, or the president of the United States. Or a lawyer,
doctor, corporate executive, journalist, filmmaker, you name it. It even
means being a teacher -- including of biology -- in all the school systems."
Falwell helped break down the walls of the separatism in many ways. "True
fundamentalists didn't have friendships, even with other fundamentalists who
associated with non-fundamentalists," Harding says. "Falwell said this was
wrong; we're going to stop having religious tests. He included you if you
supported his agenda -- an agenda that involved attacking other groups."
To many critics, this paradox is what makes his legacy so lamentable. "He
made it comfortable for churches to get actively involved in politics," says
the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for the
Separation of Church and State. "His strategy will be continued by his
would-be successors -- a focus on hot-button issues like gay marriage (rather
than significant moral issues like child poverty and health care), and an
eagerness to make outrageous statements to the media, in order to build a
religious-political empire."
Many now remember him most for outrageous statements he made after leaving
the Moral Majority -- in 1999, his house organ the National Liberty Journal
warned parents that the Tinky Winky TV character was secretly gay and morally
dangerous; in 2001, he blamed the September 11 terrorist attack on "pagans,
and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who
are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People
For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America."
Susan Friend Harding sees these as his King Lear moments. "He had already
lost power by then. It's sad to think he'll be remembered for his remark
about Teletubbies."
