LETTERS: Where is Taiwan's justice?

I was struck by the scene: a government leader who promoted himself as someone with a squeaky-clean, no corruption image. Now just days after he was caught in corruption and crime and it became public, he has resigned from his office.

I refer to New York Governor Elliot Spitzer. And his political career is at an end. And we are left with the encouraging thought that the US democracy is healthy.

That is just so different from Taiwan. If he had been a politician in Taiwan, I wonder if Spitzer would be running for president right now, with front-runner status, an adoring media and backed by a huge campaign war chest.

When will we see justice in Taiwan?
