World Bank Justice?

OpinionJournal has this great editorial about the fiasco at the World Bank.

The bottom line is that Paul Wolfowitz was cleared of any wrongdoing in the case and then resigned, largely because of the smear campaign waged against him.

As life under a Democrat Congress shows, this is becoming the M.O. The many critics of the Bush administration cannot get convictions on facts, so they resort to smears and innuendo. This is the tactic basically used in the Scooter Libby case, where one man's conviction has been turned into a conviction of the entire administration. No matter how many times one points out that no criminal activity was ever prosecuted in the Valerie Plame case, the Left continues to howl that she was "outted" by Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, and anyone else they can find to accuse.

We have a Democrat-run Congress that is more concerned with holding hearings than passing legislation, and whose idea of bipartisanship is to shut off debate. This after spending years complaining that they weren't given enough power while the minority party.

They should be ashamed, but we've come to realize they won't be.
