Former top secret agent provides political views - Taiwan

SPILLING THE BEANS: The former spy chief talks frankly about his 37-year career and his often stormy relationships with top politicians and ministers

Former director-general of the Ministry of Justice's Bureau of Investigation, Wang Kuang-yu (???), last week became the first secret agent to publish a book about his 37-year career at the bureau.

Wang was regarded as a "transmitting director-general" of the bureau when the DPP was gradually taking over control of the country's politics, the military, intelligence agencies and the police from the KMT government after President Chen Shui-bian (???) was elected in 2000. However, Wang always regarded himself as a loyal KMT member.

Someones going to have to buy the book because there are no secrets let out in this report.

I think this is a little more news worthy than some might say. I think Taiwan's agents are heavily used for intelligence gathering. To this day, Taiwan is the number one destination for U.S. Government 'staff'. I saw this story on the DU a long time ago.
