Benn: It Simply Can't Continue. (Update 1).
Hilary Benn, UK International Development Secretary, raised the pressure on Paul Wolfowitz on Saturday when he said 'the whole business... should not have happened.' Benn repeated his call for the Board to be allowed time to work out what to do, but then came close to demanding a resignation. "Let's be blunt," he said, "what's happened has been enormously damaging for the Bank, an institution that many people care about. It simply can't continue." In fact it seems that Benn is even worried that his personal reputation might suffer if he's even pictured sitting next to Wolfowitz (see update below). UPDATED 16 April 2007. 11.43 EST. "As a follow-up to your note about Hilary Benn, apparently at an event on water on Saturday, Benn refused to sit beside Wolfowitz, and the organizers tell me that they had to regroup the chairs so that there was absolutely no chance of their being photographed together.
