So who really booked the grounds on May 18th?
We've been through this and seen a couple different answers in a couple of different reports: some saying the KMT booked it directly, some sayign the KMT application was rejected, and on TVBS last night I saw a few people actually name what seemd like some no-name organization who had booked the grounds, though I am sad to say I didn't catch the name (maybe if the video for 2100 last night goes online I'll be able to identify).
I also said in a previous post yesterday, titled "Interesting," that the DPP had applied for the 18th and been rejected, but I think this is not the case, I must have misread the article. The truth seems to be that by the time they thought of the overnight protest idea, which was after the original parade plan, the grounds had been booked by this shady organization, which if not the actual KMT was some KMT proxy.
So in any case, I think taht inconclusive set of information should more or less "clear things up."

That's OK. The article in today's TT was just as confusing...
Shouldn't he booking of these locations be public knowledge? And what if someone books a location without and never actually uses that location?
I think I saw a little discussion on this on the talk show a few days ago. One of the guest is a DPP Taipei City concil. He pointed out that it was booked by a KMT supporter(politician), who is close to Ma. He also said this guy didn't just do it once but has done it repeatly in the past...including during Chen Yun-lin's visit if I remember correctly.
But sorry, I just heard it but didn't remember any names and didn't follow up on this.
