What a joke -Wolfowitz
<snip>
World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz has criticised Singapore for banning accredited activists from its annual general meeting in the country.

Singapore authorities have blocked the 19 civil society representatives from attending the event amid claims that they pose a security risk.

Mr Wolfowitz told BBC World he hoped Singapore would reconsider its stance.

On the agenda for next week's meeting are plans to tackle corruption and reform of the bank's voting structure.

In an interview with BBC World Business Report, Mr Wolfowitz said Singapore had made a "bad" decision when it blocked activists that had been invited to the event.
--------------------------

So Wolfie and his World Bank plan the meeting in Police State Singapore and he is now pretending to be upset that they refused to allow Civil Society reps to attend the meeting. Who the fugg does he think he's fooling?
