A hot seat for the World Bank's new president

In the 10 months that Paul Wolfowitz has been president of the World Bank, there's been a whole lot of sniping going on.

The bill of particulars drawn up against him by some career bank staffers, sometimes in passionate denunciation, goes something like this: too much reliance on a few crafty conservative Republicans he brought with him; too little use of the bank's brainy economists, senior managers, and technocrats; and too much emphasis on corruption-busting to the exclusion of development.

...

Wolfowitz's heavy reliance on an inner circle of Republican advisers who have had no prior bank experience has generated controversy. These strategists include Kevin Kellems, who shadows Wolfowitz wherever he goes and tends to his image, and a policy aide named Robin Cleveland.

Both Kellems and Cleveland worked on Capitol Hill. Kellems also served as an adviser to Wolfowitz at the Defense Department and was a spokesman for Vice President Cheney.
