真的嗎?美國務院「不具名官員」確認馬已經放棄PR

請網友幫忙查證
我看DoS網頁,5/15日的記者會,並無台灣的消息。只有越南暴動,且未提及台灣。

那麼,所謂的「國務院官員確認」馬已經放棄永久居留權一事,從何而來?

查證 China Post, Taiwan News, Taipei Times,只有前兩者有,Taipei Times無此消息(只到AIT函件)。
China Post Taiwan News 的稿子來自中央社英文。

來源是中央社。
稿件中,引用的是國務院不具名官員的話。

一般而言,新聞中引用不具名官員,不是消息本身事涉敏感只能委婉承認(如醜聞),就是官方意圖主動釋放消息(政府想要改變政策)等。

既然作為國務院下屬與外圍單位的AIT,其執行理事已經透過「正式信紙」回覆馬已經放棄PR這種已經公布的事情,對國務院而言並無機密或敏感性可言,何需匿名。

李登輝說,IRS、移民局、國務院等各有獨立職權,不是靠好關係說一下就可以的(大意如此)。他的關係好的說法,令我好奇。
對我而言,李之言暗示著這是人際關係的操作。也支持了AIT函件「無文號」的質疑。
而「無文號」的現象,正好支持了中央社「不具名」之隱。
連環套!一假,全部都假。

因此,中央社的此稿,有「加碼」的味道,是一種反正也查不出來的僥倖。等於在嘲笑閱聽人與美國政府。


當然,這種金戈鐵馬的手法,我們也很熟識。

China Post
WASHINGTON -- The United States government confirmed Thursday that Taiwan's President Ma Ying-jeou lost his U.S. permanent residency a “long” time ago, lending support to Ma and his office over allegations he still holds a Green Card.  “The United States has long recognized President Ma Ying-jeou's abandonment of U.S. legal permanent residence status. That matter is closed,” a U.S. State Department official said in response to reporters' question on the issue.[1]

Washington, May 15 (CNA) The United States government confirmed Thursday that Taiwan's President Ma Ying-jeou lost his U.S. permanent residency a "long" time ago, lending support to Ma and his office over allegations he still holds a green card. "The United States has long recognized President Ma Ying-jeou's abandonment of U.S. legal permanent residence status. That matter is closed," a U.S. State Department official said in response to reporters' question on the issue.[2]

Washington, May 15 (CNA) The United States government confirmed Thursday that Taiwan's President Ma Ying-jeou lost his U.S. permanent residency a "long" time ago, lending support to Ma and his office over allegations he still holds a green card.

"The United States has long recognized President Ma Ying-jeou's abandonment of U.S. legal permanent residence status. That matter is closed," a U.S. State Department official said in response to reporters' question on the issue.

Allegations that Ma still holds a valid green card first emerged during the run-up to his 2008 presidential campaign.

The issue sparked renewed interest this week after Taipei-based Next magazine reported that Ma is obligated to pay U.S. taxes once the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act goes into effect in July because of the green card he received when studying and working in the United States in the 1970s and early 1980s.

On Thursday, the Presidential Office produced a letter signed by American Institute in Taiwan Managing Director Joseph R. Donovan Jr. which confirmed "President Ma Ying-jeou's abandonment of his former legal status."

The move has "long been included in appropriate U.S. immigration system records," Donovan wrote, adding that "this issue is therefore closed."
