【新唐人2012年6月27日讯】随着十八大的临近，《乔石谈民主与法制》一书的高调出版，再次吸引了舆论的关注。6月25号，中共政法委机关报《法制日报》，刊发司法部原副部长佘孟孝文章，在文中，佘孟孝回忆了乔石主管政法委时期在中国民主法制建设上的努力和成就。而分析人士认为，乔石对政法委的理念，与周永康完全不同调，因此《法制日报》这篇文章是在变相指责现在的政法委。
长期深居简出的前全国人大委员长乔石，推出新书《乔石论民主与法制》，5月20号在北京人民大会堂举办发布会。
书中首次披露了撤销与恢复中央政法委的部分细节。1988年，中国进行机构改革，实行党政分开﹔同年5月19号，决定撤销中央政法委，成立中央政法领导小组。
乔石在谈到政法委的时候观点很明确，就是：政法委是党委的一个附属机构。他尤其强调了党委对政法委的领导地位。同时，乔石认为，政法委不要过于具体干预部门的业务，要管的虚一点儿。分析指出，这与现在权力日益膨胀的政法委，完全不同调。
时事评论员林子旭：“众所周知，中共政法委是党的专政工具之一，但是它的权力从没有像今天这样如此膨胀过。上个世纪在乔石担任中央政法委书记时候，政法委的权力也是很有限的。但是在罗干接任中央政法委书记之后，尤其是在江泽民一手挑起对法轮功的镇压之后，中央政法委的权力一天天膨胀，发展到周永康这一任，其完全变成了可以和胡温中央抗衡的第二权力中央。”
《法制日报》刊登佘孟孝的文章中，他回忆说，最近读《乔石谈民主与法制》一书，觉得十分激动、十分高兴、备感亲切。把他仿佛又带回到在乔石领导下的那些难忘的岁月。佘孟孝还给以乔石很高的评价。
时事评论员邢天行分析认为，党报不会无缘无故的去回忆什么，乔石对政法委的理念，与现在周永康的政法委有很多地方不一样，这明显是在变相指责现在的政法委。另外，这也可能暗示将撤销地方政法委。
邢天行还指出，由于政法委乱政，使共产党走入一个死局，老百姓的民愤极大，呼吁改革的声音非常高。
邢天行：“那么最直接的就是大家对政法委有意见，以前的政法委书记乔石在民众当中有极高的声誉了，而且他在做政法委书记的期间，也得到了当时很多人的欢迎，所以现在中共把乔石抬出来，其实也等于是给自己寻找缓解矛盾危机的这样的一个媒介。”
时事评论员林子旭也表示，很明显中共当局就是想利用中共政法委中的元老，来震慑当下的政法委。
林子旭：“这或许就是胡温持续不断的消减政法委权力的非常重要一环。同时也是要让人们了解 政法委的原貌，以此为胡温在十八大，将中央政法委书记排挤出中央政治局常委铺路。”
据了解，18大前夕，中共加紧对各地省级司法系统的清肃，进而有步骤、有计划的削弱了周永康凭借政法委系统对各地司法系统的掌控。在各地常委换届中，政法委书记、军方“均不入常”，而由党委副书记或副市长兼任，大大削弱了政法委的影响。

Is Legal Daily Criticizing PLC by Reviewing Qiao Shi?
Ahead of the 18th Congress, the high profile release
of Qiao Shi’s new book “On Democracy and Rule of Law” has attracted a lot of public attention.
Legal Daily is an official media of the Chinese Communist
Party’s (CCP) Political and Legislative Committee.
On June 25, it published an article by She Mengxiao,
former Vice Minister of Justice.
She Mengxiao recalled Qiao’s achievements on
China’s democracy and law, while leading the PLC.
Some analysts believe that the Legal Daily is indirectly
criticizing the current PLC of Zhou Yongkang, by reporting Qiao’s opinion on the PLC.
Qiao Shi is the retired former chairman of the CCP’s National
People’s Congress Standing Committee.
His new book “On Democracy and Rule of Law” was released
at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on May 20.
The book revealed for the first time some facts about
withdrawing and restoring the Central PLC.
In 1988, the CCP started restructuring it’s departments,
separating the Party and the government.
On May 19, 1998, a Politics and Law Leading Group
was established to replace the PLC.
Qiao Shi made his position clear that the PLC is a subsidiary
body of the party committee.
He emphasized the party’s leadership over the PLC.
Meanwhile, Qiao believed that the PLC shouldn’t
interfere in other departments too much.
Analysts said that Qiao’s words
go against the expanding of the PLC.
Lin Zixu, current affairs commentator: “It is well-known
that the PLC is a tool to reinforce the party’s power.
However, it has never expanded so much before.
During the last century when Qiao Shi was the chairman
of the PLC, the power of PLC was limited.
But after Luo Gan took over, and especially after Jiang Zemin
began the persecution of Falun Gong, the power of the PLC has expanded drastically.
It has become a second power center
under Zhou Yongkang’s leadership.”
In She Mengxiao’s article published by Legal Daily, it said
that Qiao’s new book was exciting, cheerful and dear.
The book reminds him of the memorable years
when working under Qiao’s leadership.
She Mengxiao also gave high remarks to Qiao Shi.
Current affairs commentator Xing Tianxing said that
the official media won’t review anything without a reason.
To report Qiao’s different attitude toward the PLC
is to indirectly criticize Zhou Yongkang’s current PLC.
It might also indicate the possibility of withdrawing the PLC.
Xing Tianxing also said that the CCP has come
to a dead end because of the PLC’s abuse of power.
This abuse aroused public resentment
and appeals for political reforms.
Xing Tianxing: “The public opinion
on the PLC is the most significant.
Qiao Shi, has a high reputation amongst the public
and was welcomed as the former chairman of the PLC.
Now, the CCP elevates Qiao Shi again,
to seek a solution to the current crisis.”
Current affairs commentator Lin Zixu, said the CCP
is alerting the current PLC by using a veteran PLC leader.
Lin Zixu: “It might be an important step
in Hu and Wen’s effort to weaken the PLC.
Meanwhile, it is to let people know
about the PLC in the past.
It is trying to exclude the Central PLC Secretary from the
Central Politburo Standing Committee at the 18th Congress.”
It is reported that ahead of the 18th Congress,
the CCP is purging judicial systems at all levels.
It is gradually weakening Zhou Yongkang’s control.
No PLC secretaries or military officials
were elected in local standing committees.
They were all replaced by vice party secretaries
or vice mayors. This greatly weakened the power of the PLC.
