呂秀蓮鄭重強調，她在訪問巴拉圭期間，從未表示過我國將考慮延長巴國貸款之免息優惠及清償年限。 呂秀蓮說在結束巴拉圭訪問的國際記者會上，確有當地記者問及巴國新政府無力償還積欠我國貸款到期本金，而我國是否伸援？
副總統答覆表示，有關款項的借貸是我國「中國國際商銀」與「中國信託」2家銀行與巴國政府間的商業行為，2家銀行對相關問題會有妥善的處理，她從未承諾、也未說過我國將考慮延長貸款的免息優惠和清償年限等語。

用小腦也可知道,如果我國真有這個大方,也該透過雙方會談時正式表達,怎麼可能會拖到與記者問答時才丟出?

呂秀蓮沒說過我國將考慮延長巴國貸款之免息優惠及清償年限一事,國內隨行採訪記者均可證實。為什麼中時要造這個謠呢?而旦中晚還追加了個社評,亂放狗屁一頓。

現在真相出來了,請問中時老編,你們該不該道歉?

同樣地,在報導訪波音風波時 中時記者又出了糗。波音公司在中國在壓力下,拒絕了客戶訪問(有沒有人聽過,私人公司居然會建議客戶不要來參觀,最好去參觀西雅圖港務局這種大笑話?),呂副總統當然生氣,她必須生氣!但中時除了冷嘲熱諷,又來了一句無頭無尾的傳聞,指她生氣,據說是當地報紙形容她是麻煩製造者!事實上,當地第二大報西雅圖時報,用社論介紹呂坐過政治牢,隨著台灣民主化,奮鬥成副總統,稱許有加,中時不知看到什麼鬼報,叫呂麻煩製造者?請問中時老編,你們該不該去查証,如果亂講,是否該道歉?

中時老是犯錯,不禁令人懷疑,你們存心跟呂秀蓮作對?這種不負責任的報導不足取，真令人遺憾。

波音拒訪風波　外交部說明過程
記者:鄭傑壬　陳勝鴻 報導 (TVBS)

呂副總統出訪中美洲，卻在回程經過西雅圖時傳出波音公司拒訪的風波，外交部今天嚴正表示，所有行程在出國之前就已經排定，是波音公司臨時變掛，也表示對這樣的變化感到遺憾。

巡視海疆，為我軍隊職責，護送政府官員巡視，於法有據，並能藉
機演訓，宣揚軍威，何來抱怨？

(聯合)加油添醋，十足唯恐天下不亂，請大家(公幹)。

>>(中央社記者蔡素蓉／西雅圖17日電)率特使團出訪中南美洲的副總統呂秀蓮今天過境美國西雅圖，當地第二大報紙西雅圖郵訊報在二版社論，大篇幅報導呂秀蓮從一位反對運動的「麻煩製造者」，成為中華民國首位女性副元首的故事。她接受訪問時強調，從監牢到總統府，所訴說的只是台灣奮鬥及成功的故事。社論中指出，不管大家對台灣或中國的政治看法為何，呂秀蓮個人的故事仍是令人稱讚的。

Taiwanese troublemaker goes from prison to statehouse

By MARK TRAHANT
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER EDITORIAL PAGE EDITOR

Annette Lu tells a story.

When Lu Hsiu-lien, or Annette Lu, was a law student at the National Taiwan University, a professor predicted that with so many women studying law, there will be a great revolt under heaven.

Ten years later, I began to take part in the womens movement, Lu says. Sixteen years later I became active in the opposition movement, first revolting against the culture and then against the political status quo.

It was that great revolt that landed Lu in prison, not heaven.

Her crime was a 20-minute speech. She was sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Lu was released in 1985 and she again championed democracy.

On March 18, 2000, the people of Taiwan spoke with their ballots and chose Chen Shui-bian and me as the 10th-term president and vice president, she says. I thus became the first popularly elected deputy head of state in the 5,000 years of Chinese culture.

The vice president of Taiwan -- or the Republic of China as its called there -- is in Seattle for a few days beginning today. Shes here during a stopover after an official visit to Panama. Under rules set by the United States, Lu is not allowed to grant interviews to the media, but we exchanged emails before she arrived.

Although we have seen several women among the national leaders and deputy leaders in Asia, they have all come from powerful and influential families, Lu said. If theyre not someones daughter, theyre someones wife. But I went from prison to the office of the president. I dont mean to brag of my achievements; I just want to tell the story of Taiwans struggles and successes.

No matter your political views about Taiwan or China -- it is Lus personal story that remains compelling.

She says women in Taiwan are just beginning to enjoy expanded rights, but says far more must be done before those rights reach a satisfactory level.

Men started about 99.9 percent of the wars recorded in history, but it has been women who suffered the most, Lu writes. In the last century there were too many wars, primarily as a result of too few women involved in politics. I hope that more women will pursue political careers in this new century and help create a new era of peace for humanity.

The progression from prison to statehouse is part of a larger context. Lu says when she first plunged into the womens movement, there were four women in parliament and none in the cabinet. After 30 years of hard work, women now make up a quarter of the cabinet and national legislature, two-fifths of judges, and one-third of the Taipei City Council. Looking at the world overall, and Asia in particular, we should be happy and proud of these achievements.

Of course, not everyone is keen on Lu, given the outspoken nature of Taiwans vice president. Even admirers says shes matter-of-fact and will say what she thinks.

Her critics go further.

The English-edition of mainland Chinas Peoples Daily newspaper calls Lu a trouble-maker and always sets off the words vice president with quotation marks to dismiss the legitimacy of the title.

Under the banner of democracy, and human rights, Lu stepped onto international soil to hawk her Taiwan independence philosophy, the Peoples Daily said last year. Lu is in fact an unwanted figure in the international community.

Some days its easy to forget that the Northwest is on the Pacific Rim. Most of the international news we get these days is about Iraq, Afghanistan or the Middle East. The stories are immediately real beyond the pages or TV pictures because we see local aircraft, ships or people sent to these far off dangers.

But over the next century, much of our discourse -- if not our livelihood -- will be tied to the Pacific Rim. Thats why Lus story matters -- as well as those stories reflecting the contrasting view from mainland China.

If the nations of the Pacific region were able to work together and share resources, they could enjoy a beautiful future of reciprocal benefits. It is with this idea in mind that I proposed the concept of a Pacific Democratic Alliance in Asia, says Lu. This alliance will meet in September in Taiwan and will promote democracy and other soft-power ideals.

Not a bad notion from a troublemaker.

1.英文報導是說中國罵呂秀蓮是「麻煩製造者」，文章非常正面地讚許呂秀蓮;中央社記者蔡素蓉將它搞成反對運動的「麻煩製造者」，中時記者神奇地將她變成台美關係的「麻煩製造者」,還[據說]是呂秀蓮生氣的原因之一!
2.外交部嚴正表示，所有行程在出國之前就已經排定，是波音公司臨時變掛，也表示對這樣的變化感到遺憾。偉大的中時卻使用[據悉][不具名的消息來源]，硬生生地將這排定的訪問，模糊成未經波音確定!而且是因為呂秀蓮的IBM才破局!又是她的錯?
3.中時更進一步清算總帳:將印尼之行再拿出來摸黑，明明沒有天然氣的暗盤交易，由中油以低於他人一千多億得標，不單單政府省錢，而且錢又是付給國營企業，肥水不落外人田!中時卻扭曲成呂秀蓮[喪權辱國]!?謊話重複一百遍就是真了?
4.華航及政府也被摸黑.不錯，華航是跟波音買了飛機，但並沒人，也無証明，說華航買貴了!因此風波，中時又亂扯一番，胡說八道成華航受政府壓力吃了虧!連上星期買奇異引擎，也再胡炒一頓，內行人不是說，華航在這回買引擎，因廠商互相競爭，是最大贏家!本來這是扁政府的成就，又被統媒烏賊戰，讓一些無知人民，又搞不清楚了!被摸黑成政府政治力干涉，喪權辱國!

從這件事，我們就得到這麼多媒體亂政的例子！如果再仔細研究下去，幾乎可以寫篇博士論文了!

幾個星期前,波音公司航太部,才因涉嫌不道德地偷用競爭者(洛克希德馬丁公司)運載火箭的內部資料,被美國國防部重懲,損失了幾十億美元的火箭發射合同!波音公司的政策一定程度代表美國政府的政策?真是大笑話!

像陳文茜這類不學無術的小人物,憑著一張嘴,仗著會講幾句英文,在台北,騙山騙海,胡說些似是而非的言論,誤導老百姓,真是作孽!

(本報綜合十九日報導)對於副總統呂秀蓮高分貝痛斥波音無恥一事，波音公司指出，呂秀蓮參訪波音的行程，並未百分之百敲定，波音對呂秀蓮的指責感到遺憾、不解與錯愕。

波音指出，該公司確曾考慮接待呂秀蓮參訪波音，不過，因一些行程安排有困難，故而作罷，參訪行程既未敲定，何來生變之說？波音公司指出，在「讓副總統有參訪成效」的考量下，波音公司曾決定由西雅圖港務局接待呂秀蓮，並未安排呂秀蓮參訪波音的行程。

波音公司在聲明中指出，他們對整起事件的發展表示「遺憾」，波音公司極為重視與台灣長達30年的合作關係。波音公司表示，該公司今秋仍將派遣高層代表前來台灣進行例行訪問。

再看看西雅圖郵報的報導中如何引述波音發言人的談話：

Boeing spokesman Bob Saling said he wasnt aware a port visit was scheduled in response to complaints from China, or to be sensitive to its concerns over Taiwan, though he couldnt say that wasnt the case.

Saling also wasnt aware of a dialogue between the Chinese and U.S. governments over the visit.

I cant say what would have taken place between China and the U.S. government or Taiwan and the U.S. government, Saling added.

Boeing and rival Airbus SAS face dwindling orders as airlines worldwide expect to lose a combined $10 billion this year after the Iraq war and the SARS outbreak. Boeing last month cut its 2004 earnings forecast because it said a demand from airlines may not pick up before 2005.

China Airlines spokesman Joseph Wu declined to provide details of the letter or to give the status of the plane order.

Boeing says it hasnt yet received a letter from China Airlines.

We feel that it is a very regrettable misunderstanding, Saling said.

Rather than a short, private visit to Boeing, we felt the port visit would be a more appropriate and meaningful venue, Boeing spokesman Mark Hooper said in an e-mail.

The Port of Seattle visit offered a more robust and public event that includes other businesses in the area associated with Taiwan.

請問台日不敢署名的記者，何處波音公司指出，呂秀蓮參訪波音的行程，並未百分之百敲定？又何處對呂秀蓮的指責感到不解與錯愕？

今天自由有下列一段呂秀蓮自白,說得很好,如果這是內心話,阿扁勝算在握!大家多些包容心,團結吧!

>>... 　呂秀蓮不諱言，明年這場大選，不是陳總統個人政治生涯的問題，也不是民進黨一黨興衰的問題，是台灣的民主深化與前途走向問題，大家投票是要對國家究竟要往哪裡走做出抉擇，民進黨執政經驗或許需要再歷練，但民進黨多年來堅持的理想是正確的，只要給我們時間，我們會做得更好。呂秀蓮強調，國親兩黨執政台灣長達五十五年，只下來休息四年是不夠的，他們留下來盤根錯節阻礙社會公義的沈痾，至少需要八年才能清理出起碼的局面，這是她一再提醒保守勢力不能復辟的原因。

　 對於民進黨要到十二月才決定總統、副總統提名人選，呂秀蓮說，她沒有到時候如何面對的困擾，不論是她或不是她，她都已經是副總統﹔她笑稱，蔬菜旅遊業(蘇蔡呂游葉)中最緊張的人不是她﹔她已經說過如果總統同意，她願意隨時讓賢，如果總統需要她，她當仁不讓，如果不再當副總統，她未來的空間更大，可以到處跑。

　 「願意當阿扁總幹事」的說法曾經在民間獲得不錯評價，呂秀蓮保證，這句話不是隨便說說的場面話，「倘若讓我來操盤，我一定做得比其他人更好」，一生選舉沒有失敗過，呂秀蓮相信自己對選舉的高度敏感性與判斷力，能夠對陳總統有所貢獻。...<<(8/21)

>>呂秀蓮砲轟　波音：錯愕與不解
記者:左敏琳 洛杉磯報導(TVBS)
副總統呂秀蓮在美國公開砲轟波音公司侮辱台灣人，波音公司今天以書面聲明提出澄清，表示行程根本沒有最後確認，何來「變卦」之說？波音公司對於這次引發的風波表示錯愕與不解。美國華府今天持續保持沉默，不過我國駐西雅圖的外交官員，現在則是忙著善後。

呂秀蓮副總統過境西雅圖，原本要參訪波音公司，卻遭到臨時取消行程，呂副總統為此大發雷霆。但是波音公司在聲明中表示，波音公司確實有考慮副總統的參訪行程，不過因些安排有困難，最後作罷，波音公司強調，副總統的行程從來沒有確定，所以並不是臨時變掛，而對於呂副總統痛罵波音公司可恥，波音公司表示，他們感到錯愕和不解，對於整個事件，他們也覺得非常遺憾。

不過他們強調，波音非常重視和台灣30年的合作關係，至於美國國務院，不願就這次的事件發表評論，因為華府的立場是，這是一個私人公司的私人行程。

不過外交部則有完全不同的說法。西雅圖辦事處目前則盡量居中協調，希望事態不要持續擴大。駐西雅圖外交人員：「我們一直在協調和波音公司保持連繫，這是有的。」

在台的美國商會理事長，則表示他能夠體諒呂副總統的心情。美商會理事長蘇仁聲：「我自己可能也會生氣，如果有一個既定的計畫，要和誰去見面，但是到了最後一刻，忽然改變計畫。」

台美之間關係很敏感，呂副總統這次痛罵波音無恥，當場出了一口悶氣，但是日後雙方的關係，可能會再度蒙上陰影。 <<
