Looks like a little hardball according to this article.

"He told the board that his handling of the Riza matter "does not justify taking any action against me or warrant a finding that you lack confidence in my leadership"

Xavier Coll, a former vice-president for human resources, told bank interviewers that Mr Wolfowitz accused him of leaking details of the deal he engineered for Miss Riza.
"And he also stated very clearly that if these people f*** with me or Shaha, I have enough on them to f*** them too. Those were the words," Mr Coll said.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The report said: "Mr Wolfowitz's contract requiring that he adhere to the Code of Conduct for board officials and that he avoid any conflict of interest, real or apparent, were violated."
"The salary increase Miss Riza received at Mr Wolfowitz's direction was in excess of the range established by Rule 6.01," it said.
Rules-Who needs rules
