王清峰: some last words on a most unjust Justice Minister

Taiwan News Editorial:

There are innumerable reasons why Wang Ching-feng, who has incessantly displayed her ignorance of human rights and judicial human rights, is unsuitable for the post of minister of justice, but she should absolutely not be cashiered for refusing to abrogate 44 human lives.
The dismissal of a justice minister, however incompetent, for supporting abolishment of the death penalty would mark a major reversal in our human rights and make Taiwan "into an international joke" and tear the last fig leaf of civilization from the KMT regime.

王清峰怎好意思接掌法務部

中國官場厚黑學，王清峰接掌法務部長可謂充份印證厚黑原則。

台灣司法最讓人憂心的是：政治意識凌駕司法，司法淪為政治服務之宦官閹臣，偏偏王清峰是個100%的政治意識形態作祟的法律人。

王清峰著名事蹟有二，一個是為了反日仇日的慰安婦議題，拉著年邁的老人家一次次的激情演出，完全不顧年邁老婦的尊嚴，十足的政治意識走火入魔，其二是一路瞎搞違憲的319真調會，王清峰在真調會演出期間，多次否定、踐踏原有司法體系之運作，現在竟然好意思出任法務部長？臉皮是否與老搭檔陳履安一樣的深厚啊！

王清峰為了求官，1996年與違法吸金、掏空台灣50餘億元錢進中國，兩手一攤跑路去也的陳履安搭檔競選副總統，那次的選舉連一成的票數也沒有，王清峰妄想大位，甘與姦逆為伍，十餘年前已遭人民用選票唾棄，現在拉著馬英九的裙角，也有臉皮接掌法務部。

所謂內舉不避親，真有能耐自不在話下，然而王清峰與馬英九那個涉嫌偷報紙的老婆周美青本是政大同學，日前王清峰竟然說與周美青只是大學同學，鮮少連繫，屁咧，要出任法務部長，連說謊都不會臉紅。

眾所皆知，馬英九把五千三百萬選舉補助款捐給自己成立的基金會，再以該基金會從事競選活動，這種肥水不落外人田的「大水庫」原理，在特別費官司中一覽無遺，其中敦安基金會正是由王清峰與周美青同時擔任董事，幫馬英九管理「大水庫」，王清峰還好意思欺騙人民與周美青無甚牽連嗎？未上任就說謊，可恥之極！

王清峰不只在敦安基金會替馬英九「服務」，更厚黑的是，馬英九涉嫌特別費貪汙案，馬英九竟由自家的國民黨廉能委員會對他的特別費案進行調查，包含王清峰、趙昌平、馬以工、余致力、王光宇、李伸一組成六人調查小組，王清峰擔任召集人，當然，小組作成報告結論是「馬英九並無貪污侵佔行為」！？好笑吧，這種貨色要擔任全民的法務部長！！

王清峰接掌法務部，還有個「令人玩味」之處，就是景文弊案。

景文弊案，王清峰擔任這所人人垂涎的私立學校董事，與校長朱雲鵬不合，導致朱雲鵬請辭，這段人事糾結王清峰竟然對記者蔡玉真說謊，不知道有甚麼見不得人的隱情。

接著，景文相關人士王清峰、朱雲鵬、吳清基（未定），好巧，這次都入閣啦，而景文弊案的真相，也好巧，因為檢察官劉承武「不小心逾期上訴」，一堆被告通通無罪確定啦，弊案真相也只能不了了之，這真是值得人民一起來玩味啊！

Alan Mulcany: 陳雲南, 王清峰, 邱毅
should be charged for gross acts of interference

Alan Mulcany quotables:

The KMT believes that it is not accountable to anyone (except the Chinese Communist Party) and that it can get away with everything.

By now it should be crystal clear that KMT is the cancerous growth that must be eradicated from Taiwanese public life, but how do you achieve this?

the ruling KMT does not have the foggiest idea what [democratic] values are.

all Taiwanese who care one iota about their country's future had better learn from the Wild Strawberries, and fairly quickly.

Taiwan's Dreyfus Affair
Alan MULCANY
Swords, County Dublin, Ireland

Those familiar with French history might know that last century "l'Affaire Dreyfus" split French public opinion down the middle, just as the "l'Affaire Chen Shui-bian [陳水扁]" threatens to do in Taiwan nowadays.

First of all, whether I regard Chen as guilty or innocent of the charges brought against him is irrelevant right now. It is the procedure followed against Chen that matters.

The procedure that has been used might be normal in countries like China or North Korea, but should have no place in a democratic country like Taiwan claims to be.

I am no legal expert, but I do know that in countries like Ireland, Britain and most other European countries, any action aimed at influencing an upcoming trial is a criminal offense known as "Contempt of Court."

And if a prosecutor like Chen Yun-nan (陳雲南) were to engage in such an offense, aside from being immediately kicked out of the judiciary, he would have certainly been charged, along with Justice Minister Wang Ching-feng (王清峰), Legislator Chiu Yi (邱毅) and many other Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) officials for their gross acts of interference in the ongoing proceedings against Chen.

Going back to Captain Dreyfus, thankfully he was eventually found innocent and rightly so. But regarding Chen, despite the numerous "J'accuse [I accuse]" and "Nous accusons [we accuse]" launched by human rights campaigners and legal experts from the world over, I would not hold my breath.

For a start, France at that time was already a country somehow committed to democratic values, while the ruling KMT does not have the foggiest idea what such values are.

The KMT believes that it is not accountable to anyone (except the Chinese Communist Party) and that it can get away with everything.

By now it should be crystal clear that KMT is the cancerous growth that must be eradicated from Taiwanese public life, but how do you achieve this?

I have seen messages on pro-Taiwan discussion boards calling for things like revolution, civil war, and so on, but as an Irishman (whose country has gone through all this before), I don't agree.

I do believe that the Taiwanese can start their rebellion against the KMT dictatorship with a peaceful Gandhi-style campaign. The campaign would include extremely noisy protests and demonstrations, strikes (especially in companies owned by the KMT or pro-KMT business-folks), boycotts (like postal workers refusing to handle mail directed to the government or KMT offices, dock workers refusing to handle ships coming from or bound for China), blockades, occupations, refusals to pay taxes or fines and many more acts of civil disobedience. The list is endless.

I know that in Taiwan there is not the same militant and rebellious mentality as, say, in Greece, but for the sake of Taiwan's future, all Taiwanese who care one iota about their country's future had better learn from the Wild Strawberries, and fairly quickly.

We have seen KMT idea of justice. Chen and other prominent DPP people were detained, despite not being convicted of anything. Contrast this with Diane Lee, who eventually had to own up to her dishonest deeds, despite the fact that KMT spared no effort to keep the lid on the whole affair. Chaps, the KMT cancer is at too advanced a stage: remove it NOW, or the patient (what is left of the Taiwanese democracy) will soon be dead !!! Alan Mulcany Swords Co. Dublin Ireland
