Unspun has not high regard for the FEER but thinks highly of Jeremy Wagstaff, a former correspondent for the Asian Wall Street Journal and now a tech columnist and a blogger to boot. In the analytical piece below you will see why.

Way before he reinvented himself into a tech columnist Jeremy was covering politics and the economy in Indonesia. He is one of the rare journalists Unspun knows who 1. can write well (most can't, some even can't spell or string two sentences together - they have copyeditors to do that for them) and 2. has enough empathy and intelligence to go below surface appeareances to tap into a nation's psyche.

The result is an article that captures the complexity of Suharto the man who came to lead a nation in waiting. Well done Jeremy and for heaven's sake get that book on Suharto out soon.
