IMO, he is a war criminal. Men were hanged after WW2 for "planning and waging aggressive war." What did he (PW) do?

Paul Wolfowitz's "Hours" May be Numbered at World Bank
Steve Clemons, at The Washington Note
"Paul Wolfowitz has now admitted to helping his girlfriend, Shaha Riza, get positions outside the Bank, including "seconding" her to the US State Department that have helped up her salary to levels that clearly violate World Bank rules (i.e. nearly double her salary ). This is the kind of personnel nepotism and corruption that Wolfowitz has stated he is trying to wipe out at the Bank and in the client governments of the Bank."
