Re: Asia Melts...

"At a press conference in 1995, when WBAI/Pacifica reporter Amy Goodman
asked World Bank president James Wolfensohn if the Bank was going to make
loans to Indonesia conditional on ending human rights violations, the smart
and worldly Wolfensohn said, incredibly, that it was the first he'd heard
of them."

Remarkable.

Absolutely remarkable.

And the White House picked Wolfensohn as its World Bank candidate over...
other people... because they said that it was important that the World Bank
President not be an ivory-tower intellectual but instead have wide-ranging
practical experience with the real world...

Do you have a copy of the transcript?
