The Washington Times June 28, 1999, Monday, Final Edition Punished for telling the truth By: Quin Hillyer If a boy cries wolf, and a truly fearsome wolf is indeed there, would you punish the boy for his warning? Certainly not. If you had any sense, you would reward the boy for his efforts. But when the wolf is the Chinese military and the warning's recipient is the Clinton administration, the administration tries to force the boy's mouth shut. At last Thursday's hearing before Rep. Dan Burton's House Committee on Government Reform, five federal employees told chilling tales of being punished ...

As I have tried to make clear on several occasions I am a listener. I don't pry, I don't question and I don't send or receive coded messages. But people are people, wherever they are and ...

Beijing `clean-up' begins before anniversary celebrations By Pamela Pun STORY: AS part of the ongoing face-lift of the capital city in the run-up to the 50th anniversary of the People's Republic, the Beijing municipal government has started a ``clean-up'' of the several million-strong migrant population. The Central Government ordered the crackdown to head off potential unrest by the group of workers. Launched some weeks ago, the campaign has targeted the unemployed as well as those who have jobs. Those without jobs or a place to live were the first to be sent home. Migrant workers with employment were required to ...

Wednesday, June 9, 1999   Top-level PLA visit to Russia sends Washington strong signal OLIVER CHOU The visit of a high-level PLA delegation to Russia is a strong signal from Beijing to Washington over the US-led Nato bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade, according to analysts.

The ABM Trap By Charles Krauthammer Friday, July 2, 1999; Page A27 "Nothing ever gets settled in this town," George Shultz once said of Washington. "It's a seething debating society in which the debate never stops, in which people never give up, including me." Well, we may be seeing an exception to Shultz's Law. After 15 years, the Democrats have apparently given up their opposition to a "star wars" missile defense for the United States. A law committing the United States to building such a defense passed Congress by overwhelming majorities. And President Clinton, who had vetoed such legislation in ...

Inside Politics: News and political dispatches fromaround the nation By Greg Pierce THE WASHINGTON TIMES 'Cover-up succeeds'             Independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr threw in the towel in the Webster L. Hubbell case, letting the "crony and serial felon the Clintons appointed to run their Justice Department in 1993" walk free, observes New York Times columnist William Safire.       Mr. Safire also said that now "we will never know if the $100,000 that the Riady family paid Hubbell was, in Thomas Jefferson's phrase, 'hush money' -- to keep him from telling prosecutors about the part played by his Rose Law ...

Bush may forgo matching funds By Ralph Z. Hallow THE WASHINGTON TIMES George W. Bush is virtually certain to forgo federal matching funds, a senior Bush campaign official told The Washington Times Thursday, allowing the Texas governor unlimited spending in his run for the presidency.       Although the decision would cost his campaign millions in federal dollars, it would free him to raise and spend as much as he wants from individual donors.       The move would also prevent a repeat of the last presidential campaign, which found GOP candidate Bob Dole restrained by federal spending limits and helpless to ...

EDITORIAL The Clinton-Gore morality play ecent news reports have revealed that President Bill Clinton has been "hurt" and "very upset" over Vice President Al Gore's public efforts to distance himself from the moral turpitude that has enveloped the Oval Office during Mr. Clinton's presidency. Well, the president, who fancies himself the victim of a right-wing independent counsel run amuck, will just have to get used to it. In a recent Wall Street Journal poll, the issue of "promoting moral values" ranked well above traditional staples of political campaigns, including taxes, crime and the economy. Last fall, moreover, in the midst ...

WILL GUNS BACKFIRE ON THE GOP? By FLOYD FLAKE IN a potentially ironic repeat of history, the gun issue now bodes ill for many of the same politicians who rode into Washington on the coattails of the gun-rights lobby in 1994. They might soon discover that they are now the ones in the crosshairs of an electorate hungry for more assurance on guns. No place was immune from the '94 GOP earthquake. Traditionally strong Democratic states like Louisiana, Georgia, Tennessee, and Arkansas saw the completion of a seismic shift in their political party alignments. States that had been Democratic since ...
