（中央社記者陳淑芬台北9日電）百位藝文工作者今天聚集自由廣場發起搶救公視活動，批評立法院透過凍結公視預算、審核節目，箝制公共媒體自主，要求立法院解凍預算，政治退出公視，由全民監督公共媒體。
導演王小棣、林靖傑等人發起「政治退出、全民監督--還給我們一個乾淨的公共媒體」活動，發動影像、音樂、文學及藝術等藝文界工作者近百人，中午12時30分聚集自由廣場發表藝文界搶救公視宣言。
聲援的藝文界人士有導演蔡明亮、魏德聖、楊力州、文學界人士曾淑美、馮光遠等人參加，王小棣代表宣讀搶救公共媒體宣言，輪番敲碎3塊大冰塊象徵解凍預算，並高喊「政治退出」、「全民監督」、「解凍」等口號。
王小棣在搶救宣言中指出，文化創作者很珍惜公共媒體在資本社會累積文化、探求社會真實及保護弱勢聲音的重要，為了文化創作能有獨立自主、多元的公共空間，呼籲立法院解凍公視預算，停止不當干預，政治力量退出公視，公共媒體需要改革、合理運作及全民的監督與參與。
蔡明亮表示，社會商業化及政治化改變劇烈，文化藝術創作要保住一片空間是不變的原則。
魏德聖也說，藝文界為對的事站出來反對錯的事，文化需要結合產業，而非政治介入，應該由專業組織領導公共媒體。-->

涂醒哲：李慶安案延宕是為保護有綠卡的馬英九
探扁 涂醒哲：李慶安案延宕是為保護有綠卡的馬英九
中央廣播電台╱呂采千 2009-01-09 17:53
寒流來襲，前總統陳水扁9日穿著家人送來的禦寒衣物接見訪客，立委涂醒哲在會面後指出，李慶安雙重國籍案會拖300多天，是為了保護有綠卡問題的總統馬英九，最後撐不住了，馬英九一聲令下，李慶安就請辭了。
涂醒哲探視陳水扁後轉述指出，有雙重國籍的李慶安可以逍遙法外，陳水扁卻得忍受牢獄之災，是因為司法不公。涂醒哲說：『這個事情(李慶安案)為什麼會拖300多天，是因為後面有馬英九因素在裡面，馬英九自己有綠卡問題，所以為了保護馬英九，大家硬撐，撐了300多天，撐不下去了，現在她突然辭職，也是馬英九指示的，不管怎樣，都是馬英九在後面拉線、操盤的。』
台灣南社社長鄭正煜也轉述談話指出，本土社團有意將陳水扁及律師在法庭上的辯詞集結出書，並獲得陳水扁首肯。鄭正煜還說，扁案是媒體在指導辦案，陳水扁認為，國民黨為了重挫台獨運動勢力才追殺式的辦他，陳水扁相信，只有真相才是最好的辯白，並認為自己被關，是為了台灣被關。
律師石宜琳前往看守所和陳水扁商議未來司法的攻防戰，對於外界質疑陳水扁利用飛機運鈔票及涉及北韓核廢料等事，陳水扁一概否認。

銷中…農民每公斤少賺4元
銷中…農民每公斤少賺4元
自由時報╱自由時報 2009-01-08 06:00
〔記者陳曉宜、曾韋禎／台北報導〕民進黨立委翁金珠昨天表示，台灣果農將柳丁賣給中國的收入，事實上遠低於賣給台灣國內收入，柳丁外銷中國完全是國民黨與共產黨聯手欺騙農民的政治統戰大戲。
翁金珠表示，柳丁銷中，果農帳面上每公斤可獲新台幣十三元，但事實上，為應付運輸可能損失，每箱二十四斤必須以二十斤計價，換言之，每公斤收購價約為十．八元，才是農民的實際收入。
翁金珠表示，對照台北農產運銷公司同一時間點的交易價格為每公斤十八．一四元，扣除相關費用，農民約可實得十四．八元。換句話說，與國內銷售相比，農民將Ａ級柳丁銷往廈門的銷售價格只有運往台北農產運銷公司的七成三，而農民收入每公斤也約少賺四元。
她指出，將台灣柳丁運往廈門港的成本是每公斤二十九．四七元，加上增值稅與管銷成本後，零售價格至少要新台幣四十元才合理。但中國的福州超大公司的網路預售報價台灣柳橙每件十二公斤，約五十元人民幣，亦即每公斤新台幣十九．七八元，根本不敷成本。她強調，中國為何要如此流血買賣台灣柳丁，完全是政治統戰的宣傳考量。-->

國民所得3萬美金 鐵定跳票8年
中時電子報╱江慧真／台北報導 2009-01-09 03:38
經建會昨天在行政院會中報告「四年國建計畫」，馬英九「六三三」政見中的三萬美金國民所得恐八年都跳票！官員坦承，不管四年、八年恐怕都難以達成，經建會也趕緊引用「環球透視機構」 (GI)數字，「在二○一六年有可能達成。」
行政院長劉兆玄昨天聽取經建會副主委胡仲英報告「九八至一○一年國建計畫」，他強調，國建計畫是設定經濟成長及國家長期發展方向依據，第三期國家建設計畫是馬總統上任後的第一個國建計畫；對於景氣大衰退，經建會設定，今年的經濟成長率目標是二．五％，失業率是四．五％。
經建會昨所公布經濟成長率數字，和政院主計處最新預估的二．一二％比起來，仍屬「樂觀偏高」。
馬英九的國民所得三萬美元政見，已經鐵定八年內都跳票！胡仲英說明，因設定每年平均經濟成長率五％，以目前國民所得約一萬八千美元的水準，「三萬美元目標未來四年內做不到，需要更長時間！」-->

Critics blast democratic erosion under Taiwan's Ma (在馬政府下, 台灣民主被侵蝕)
Critics blast democratic erosion under Taiwan's Ma
By PETER ENAVAssociated Press 2009-01-04 11:39 AM
Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou is a Harvard Law School graduate with a professed commitment to the rule of law.
But two incidents during his first seven months in office are prompting unflattering comparisons with his Nationalist Party's dictatorial past and raising questions about Ma's ability to protect Taiwan's fragile democracy.
His apparent willingness to countenance his party's actions against opposition politicians is provoking stinging criticism of his administration, both at home and abroad. （馬英九總統畢業於美國哈佛大學法學院，但他就任七個月以來發生的兩件事──前總統陳水扁羈押更裁案，及上月底在上海舉行的國共論壇，看似不符合馬聲稱恪守法治的立場；前一件事被拿來與國民黨的獨裁歷史相提並論，後者則令人質疑馬是否有能力捍衛脆弱的台灣民主。）
It is "reminiscent of Richard Nixon's behavior, as in ordering IRS investigations of groups he didn't like," said June Teufel Dreyer, a China-Taiwan expert at the University of Miami, in an e-mail response to questions. The IRS is the American tax agency. （引用上述２：扁羈押更裁一案上，馬英九明顯縱容國民黨人對付政敵的態度，已在海內外引發猛烈批評。美國邁阿密大學台海兩岸關係專家金德芳（June Teufel Dreyer）說，這令人想起當年美國總統尼克森的行為，下令國稅局調查他不喜歡的團體。）
No one suggests Ma wants to turn the clock back on free elections and other democratic reforms that swept the island starting in the mid-1980s.
What worries some is the efforts by Nationalist lawmakers to pressure the Ministry of Justice into prosecuting former officials of the rival Democratic Progressive Party, including former President Chen Shui-bian. （引用上述２：雖然沒有人說馬會讓台灣的民主走回頭路，但真正令人憂心的是，國民黨立委施壓法務部起訴包括陳水扁在內的多名民進黨政敵，以及真正的問題在於，馬無法阻止部份國民黨立委攻擊周占春法官、鼓動繼續押扁的舉措。）
Chen was indicted on Dec. 12 on charges of money laundering, looting a special presidential fund and taking bribes during his eight years in office.
Few deny that there is probably substance to the allegations. The problem, the critics contend, is that Ma has failed to stop a campaign by lawmakers to keep Chen in jail pending trial.
Following his indictment, a three-judge panel from the Taipei District Court ordered him released on his own recognizance. Lead judge Chou Chan-chun said it was unlikely that Chen would attempt to flee before his trial.
Prosecutors initially accepted the decision but, following intense criticism from Nationalist lawmakers, they changed their mind and filed an appeal.
On Dec. 18, the court rejected the appeal.
This provoked a new round of attacks led by Nationalist lawmaker Chiu Yi, who spent eight months in prison for leading violent protests against Chen's narrow re-election victory in 2004.
"If Chou knows about shame, he should resign and let others handle the case," Chiu told reporters. "If he doesn't do so ... I will impeach him so that he loses his job."
On Dec. 25 the District Court took the unusual step of shifting Chen's case to a different three-judge panel, giving the lead role to Tsai Shou-hsun, who had acquitted Ma on graft charges of his own in 2007.
Three days later, the new panel accepted the prosecution's argument that Chen was a flight risk and ordered him back to jail.
"The pressure from critics has been undisguised," The Apple Daily newspaper said in an editorial. "If a judge does not hand out a verdict according to their wishes, they ... besmirch his reputation. The judiciary should avoid considering political elements in a case."
Ma spokesman Wang Yu-chi denied any political intervention in Chen's case. Taipei District Court spokesman Huang Chun-ming said the decision to change judges was for efficiency, so that the same panel would handle the cases of both Chen and his wife, who also faces graft charges.
Typically, though, his wife's case would have been moved to the judges hearing his case, since hers is a less important one.
Political scientist Wang Yeh-lih of Taipei's National Taiwan University said the most disturbing aspect of the Chen affair has been the readiness of Nationalist lawmakers to leak information from the investigation to allies in the media. （引用自上述２：台大政治系教授王業立表示，扁案最擾人的層面，就是國民黨立委隨時準備好向立場相同的媒體洩漏調查內情，他也責怪特偵組檢察官未能恪守偵查不公開原則。）
He also blamed prosecutors, saying they "consistently violated the principle of guarding the details of investigations during Chen's case."
Wang said Ma's apparent inability to stand up to lawmakers in his own party was also evident in his reluctance to prevent senior Nationalist officials from holding talks in Shanghai last month with China's Communist Party.
The negotiations, on two-way investment and cooperation in financial and service industries, circumvented the Straits Exchange Foundation, the Taiwanese body established to conduct talks with the mainland.
The leaders of the Nationalist delegation included honorary party chairman Lien Chan, whom critics chide as a supporter of reunification with the mainland, something most Taiwanese oppose. Ma has pledged not to discuss the issue while in office.
Wang said the meeting signaled the government's willingness to abdicate its authority to the ruling political party _ much as the Nationalist Party dictated policy during martial law from 1947 to 1987.
Wang Yu-chi, the Ma spokesman, said any agreements reached with the mainland would need government approval.
"The only agency recognized by the government to hold talks with China is the Straits Exchange Foundation," he said. "Non-governmental talks will not bring about the implementation of deals that are agreed upon."
But Wang Yeh-lih, the political scientist, has his doubts.
"The Nationalists are circumventing public supervision when they talk to the communists on its own," he said. "This is not something a democratic country would normally tolerate." （引用上述２：另，王業立說，上月舉行的國共論壇顯示府已遭黨綁架，一如戒嚴時期府黨不分的國民黨獨裁時代。王表示，國民黨藉由自行與中國舉行會談來規避大眾監督，此非民主國家所能容忍之舉。）

題外話:
後來找到有另一個網誌提到這則英文新聞. 在這則網誌裡還討論到此新聞其中一個英文句子(No one suggests Ma wants to turn the clock back on free elections and other democratic reforms that swept the island starting in the mid-1980s.)的用法.
這讓我想起之前美國學者第二封公開信裡白樂崎還特別糾正所謂 we have every expectation that....的真正意思. 現在這句no one suggests Ma....也有類似的情況. 句子表面上看起來是說: 沒有人會說馬政府讓台灣的民主走回頭路(走回獨裁等), 但全文其他卻指證歷歷,顯示馬政府事實上就是在走回頭路(.....that we are moving backwards into the past here).有興趣者可以前往該文一讀(英文的). 我只摘錄部份討論如下:

No one suggests Ma wants to turn the clock back on free elections and other democratic reforms that swept the island starting in the mid-1980s.
....which is totally untrue -- many public figures have suggested that -- is subtly but strongly contradicted by the rest of the article, which does in fact suggest that we are moving backwards into the past here.
