台獨無罪，造反有理乎？

 

　　新黨馮某立委，又在借題發揮，其打倒李登輝不擇手段，在電視機面前表露無遺，對本土化民主運動深惡痛絕，如此行徑，看在民眾眼裏的確達到五味雜陳、刺激感官的目的。馮提出國安會有秘密款項流向台綜院，李登輝是黑手，劉泰英是執行人，而宋心溓的心臟病，則是被其等謀殺…。蔣家皇朝的思想與謀詐，於此馮身上不斷流竄，已經到了瘋狂的地步。

　　國安局有些什麼是非，款項有何不明，做了什麼事，或是有些可以說，有些不可說？但是國安局法制化是未來的趨勢，馮某到處發飆，批李打扁，已經是天怒人怨，其個人的作法，皆不值得鼓勵，亦是民主台灣的反面行為。我們從來未聽到他在立法院公開指責中共的暴政，卻老是聽到他胡言亂語，口出妄言，對台灣的領導人（蔣家除外），選擇性侮辱攻擊，到底這個人是站在那一邊？有學問的人，求證求知為首要方式，而親民黨周某立委和聲共鳴，亦毫無根據，就是台綜院真的拿到國安局的錢，為國家做事又有何不可？何況在舊政府時代，蔣家獨霸之時，此國安局所做所為更不堪回首。台獨又如何？統一又什麼話？凡事法制化，共同制定國安局用錢規範，方是正途，若以打擊個人突顯新聞事件，就必須多加強民主素養的教育。

　　在台灣，所謂言論自由乃對事不對人，一切講尊重與人權，可是台灣的言論自由，成為言論暴力，新聞自由變成八卦強姦，這種毫無邊際的不負責任講話，未來只會讓民眾有樣學樣，產生因果效應。

　　親民黨身為第二大政黨，得到台灣民眾的支持度很高，其等某些立委的公開記者招待會，提出國安局的通李論，必須拿出確實證據，而國安局中的哈共派亦請站出來，說明白講清楚，否則就是會因此沒完沒了，自我毀滅。於阿扁政府交接之初，國安局醜態百出，狀況連連，而好不容易國事稍靖，就有人借題烏龍起來了，以前民進黨反國安法，全民抗聲不絕，現在玩家成了台灣人阿扁，就會不得了乎？台灣前途由誰決定？立委乎？國安局乎？總統乎？皆不是，而是台灣人民的自決。

　　本會非常不願意再看到某些立委的無知，無所自律的行徑，全民參政的時代來臨，亦非中共可以來左右台灣政局走向，WTO之後的台灣，除了經濟世界化之外，台灣政治的國際化亦難以避免。

　　我們不太相信國內的中文報導，因為這批記者的偏見太深，請參考英文資料怎麼說：

　　

 

PFP lawmakers say TSU has received secret funds

2002/01/03 Taipeitimes
By Stephanie Low
STAFF REPORTER

People First Party lawmakers yesterday alleged that the National Security Bureau has secretly channeled up to NT$500 million from an unmonitored secret account to the Taiwan Research Institute headed by former president Lee Teng-hui (李登輝).

The lawmakers said they discovered that the money has been used to finance the Taiwan Solidarity Union, of which Lee is the spiritual leader, and the Taiwan Advocates, a private think tank founded recently by Lee.

National Security Bureau officials flatly rejected the allegation.

They admitted that the bureau had funded the Taiwan Research Institute last year from an NT$19 million budget earmarked for research projects for local or overseas academic institutions, but would not disclose the details of the projects on the grounds that they are confidential.

The institute, meanwhile, released a statement saying that it only accepts research projects contracted by the government and business sector, and that all the incomes and expenditures of the institute are available for examination.

The PFP lawmakers made the allegation yesterday after a closed-door meeting with a group of National Security Bureau officials, led by bureau director-general Tsai Chao-ming (蔡朝明).

Hsieh Chang-chieh (謝章捷), deputy convener of the PFP legislative caucus, said the bureau, under Lee's instruction, has amassed a sum of money from the surpluses of its annual budgets during the time of Lee's presidency.

Under standard procedure, the surpluses should be returned to the national coffers.

This sum of money, which the lawmakers alleged has become the "private stash" of a small minority of high-ranking government officials, totals at least NT$4 billion including bank interest, Hsieh said.

According to Hsieh, National Security Bureau officials told the lawmakers during the meeting that there is a balance of NT$3 billion, only.

"In other words, it is a mystery as to how the other NT$1 billion has been spent," Hsieh said.

He said the PFP demanded that the bureau brief the caucus on the details of how the money was spent, and the caucus may propose cutting or shelving the bureau's budget unless it is able to offer a satisfactory explanation.

Also, the PFP will not rule out the possibility of cooperating with the KMT to set up a special panel to investigate the secret account, Hsieh said.

"The bureau should never be allowed to spend money without monitoring by the legislature, especially when the money is used to subsidize the operations of political parties or groups," Hsieh said.

The existence of the bureau's secret account first came to light in 2000 following the exposure of an alleged embezzlement case involving former National Security Bureau chief cashier Colonel Liu Kuan-chun (劉冠軍).

The NT$90 million allegedly misappropriated by Liu, who fled abroad in September 2000, was allegedly from this account.

According to Hsieh, during closed-door legislative sessions held to review the bureau's budget in the same year, former bureau Director-General Ting Yu-chou (丁渝洲) admitted there was a sum of money that had accumulated from past surpluses and promised to control spending on a case-by-case basis and report to the legislature before drawing on the fund.

The bureau has so far failed to make good on its promise, Hsieh said.

Tsai Huang-liang (蔡煌瑯), chief executive of the DPP legislative caucus, met with bureau Director-general Tsai Chao-ming immediately after the PFP made the allegation.

Tsai Huang-liang quoted the bureau head as saying that the secret account has been frozen since the exposure of Liu's case, and that it is impossible for the NSB to draw money from the account to finance the Taiwan Research Institute.

The bureau has kept a clear account of the money spent and has reported to the Control Yuan's Ministry of Audit every three months about this account, Tsai Chao-ming was cited as saying.

 

　　再談泛藍批李打扁的作法令人不齒，在此次2001年立法院選舉，CSIS與CNN發言論及台灣的某些人通共賣台，就被藍軍認為是胡說八道，更自行在台灣的統派報紙上登CNN道歉函，而經本會向CNN等問詢，他們皆認為毫無道歉之事。

　　台灣的事務國際化，已經非哈共、附共之族可以掌控，台灣政治市場隨著經濟市場的開放，勢不可擋，台灣政體民主化、本土化之後，必走向國際化，台灣事務必然成為國際事務的一環，如果沒有受國外民主媒體批評的雅量而自我檢討，則台灣民主制度的成就，亦只是夜郎自大的心理滿足而已！國家安全與主權認同，當然是必備的先決條件，可是接受世界各國的關切則是台灣受肯定的榮耀，台灣人民成為世界公民的時代來臨了，台灣不能自外於國際媒體的批評，海洋性格的台灣人氣質，方可把國土擴大到全球。

　　請在台灣的政黨、政治人物、政客、立法委員多懺悔、多反省自己要為台灣做什麼？而不是中共要台灣政客做什麼？此篇Chin Heng-wei的英文講話有參考價值：

 

Everybody knows KMT, China are in cahoots

BY Chin Heng-wei 金恆煒
2001/11/29

Former President Lee Teng-hui (李登輝) has lambasted KMT Chairman Lien Chan (連戰) for colluding with China to betray Taiwan. Lien and the KMT have loudly refuted the allegation, arguing that it is an ungrounded accusation that amounts to vilification and slander. In the context of domestic political strife, the question of right and wrong is often blurred by partisan wrangling.

It is difficult, however, to talk people out of believing the same accusation when it comes from abroad, especially from a renowned US think tank or media source. Nor is it possible to cover up the veracity of the report with their denials.

Recently, the Cable News Network (CNN) made public an article by Willy Wo-Lap Lam (林和立), a commentator on Chinese affairs. The article revealed that "in closed-door meetings with KMT stalwarts, Beijing cadres have pledged to give them political and other kinds of support to ensure the DPP's defeat at the polls." At the same time, "Beijing hopes to prevent the TSU [Taiwan Solidarity Union] from gaining enough seats to join forces with DPP politicians and independents to control the legislature."

Frankly speaking, the fact that the KMT has joined hands with China to bash President Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁) is nothing new. In early August, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a US think tank, published on its Web site an article by Bonnie S. Glaser, an expert on China affairs. The article said that after the presidential election last year, some KMT members "urged Beijing to avoid opening a dialogue with Chen ... Instead, the KMT urged Chinese leaders to await the return of their party to power, promising that the KMT will pursue a cross-strait policy that is more amenable to Beijing."

The two articles outline the KMT's true colors and show its willingness to collude with China to sell out Taiwan. They not only show continuity in terms of time, but also echo each other in their content. Interestingly, the two articles came from different China experts at different institutions. The KMT simply can't deny the accusations.

Both the CSIS and CNN enjoy good reputations internationally, and their professionalism is beyond question. More importantly, the two authors are experts on China affairs, rather than Taiwan affairs. They neither have to speak for Taiwan nor have relations with Taiwanese political interests.

So is it true that the KMT colludes with China to sell out Taiwan? The answer is all too obvious.
