Who shot president Chen Shui-bian?
Overhead from the ICRT radio news, Taiwanese government requests an apology from the New York Times over a piece on the police investigation of the shooting event prior to the Taiwan 2004 Presidential election. According to the New York Times's reporter Keith Bradsher:
... Spinning the sort of story once found in dime store novels,......
Controvertial?
I think so. The incident has a great impact on Taiwan's nascent democratic history. It should be investigated with vigor and without partisan...
Imagine how the "alleged" suicide would happen?
Yet another angry white man? (ok, forgive the pun, angry pan-blue man?)
If he really committed this crime, imagine how he would have faced the criticism from both sides (pan-blue loathes him for spoiling the election; pan-green hates his killing) and how about his families? the repercusion....
It's not imaginable that after the police published the photo (and video) on TV, the pressure he must have endured would mount to ad nauseam.
