That piece in Congressional Quarterly I blogged on yesterday is popping up on blogs and websites all over the place. I fired off inquiries, and after several conversations with knowledgeable people, it is looking more and more like a State Department hatchet job on a group of people they don't like. I'll keep tracking this controversy. Clearly, however you slice it, there are gaping problems with US Taiwan policy.

Meanwhile, lots of flowery prose on the blogs today...
