CFR-Asia Unbound’s assessment disappoints

THE New York-based Council on Foreign Relations is one of the most respected sources of analyses of world events. One of its products is Asia Unbound. Under the Asia Unbound heading, knowledgeable and correct analyses of our part of the world come out. The bylines are usually those of Joshua Kurlantzick and Elizabeth Economy.

Mr. Kurlantzick’s article “The Year in Democracy in Southeast Asia,” posted on Tuesday December 8, is as usual correct—except for its failure to note the very glaring crimes against our electoral democracy being committed by the very body constitutionally tasked with supervising our electoral processes, the Commission on Elections.
