Sacked Olympics chief had 'pleasure palace' full of concubines

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,25689-2222095,00.html

The vice-mayor of Beijing overseeing the construction of Olympic venues
for the 2008 Games has built himself a pleasure palace filled with
young concubines on the outskirts of the city.


Chinese media want explaination of Olympic sacking

http://news.ft.com/cms/s/f4c3da90-fbd1-11da-b1a1-0000779e2340.html

Wonderful news - not only is rule of law in China working to catch this
early, independent media is free to demand answers?

Compare this with how Salt Lake City Olympic corruption went on
unnoticed, only came to light long after when Olympic corruption in
Nagano and Sydney were exposed.

And after Ben McConville's bribery, expensive meal, stripper and
hookers came out, charges against him were dropped. To date nobody has
explained why he got off scott free.

Ben McConville is a reporter. Did you google yourself in a circle,
because of your despair that your hero Zarqawi was recently taken out?

"why can't Zarqawi declare war on actual WMD tyranny?"
-- Charles Liu, January 24, 2005

Sound like demo's nonsense is rising again.

According to the URL provided, Charles wrote,

"If Bush regime can delcare war on false WMD pretext, why can't Zarqawi

declare war on actual WMD tyranny? "

One can agree with him or not. But concluding Zarqwi is Charles' hero
from the above is not sensical.

Let's let Charles answer for himself.

Simple, I expressed my belief GW Bush's Iraq war based on false WMD
pretext is just as invalid as Zarqawi's jihad.

Feel free to twist majority of American's opposition to the Iraq war
into question of our patriotism. Or you are singling me out because
ch!nks ain't real Americans?

I really hope you'll answer this.




The state-run Chinese media have challenged the authorities to explain
the weekend sacking of one of Beijing's top officials for corruption,
saying such information was needed to retain public confidence in the
government.

People's Daily Online: We should at least have a deep think about some
problems: whether the supervision of his power had run out of control,
and whether it had been supervised at all.

China Business Times: officials like Mr Liu had huge power over the
approval process for large developments in the city, mixing "the
corruption of business with the corruption of power".
