<P>Powell Aide Gave Papers To Taiwan, FBI Says</P>

<P>

<P>A former high-ranking State Department official who is one of the nation's leading experts on China passed documents to Taiwanese intelligence agents and was charged yesterday with concealing a trip to Taiwan, court papers say. </P>
<P>Donald W. Keyser, who was elevated to principal deputy assistant secretary for East Asian and Pacific Affairs this year, made the trip last year, according to an FBI affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Alexandria. Keyser, 61, who advised Secretary of State Colin L. Powell on China issues, met with one of the agents in Taipei last September during an official trip to China and Japan, the affidavit says. </P>
<P>Tailed by the FBI in recent weeks, Keyser and two Taiwanese agents conducted a series of covert meetings around Washington. At a meeting July 31 at the Potowmack Landing restaurant, the affidavit says, Keyser handed the Taiwanese two envelopes "that appeared to bear U.S. government printing.'' </P>
<P>On Sept. 4 at the same Alexandria restaurant, on the Potomac River with a view of downtown Washington, FBI agents saw Keyser pass a document captioned "discussion topics,'' the affidavit says. FBI agents stopped the three men outside the restaurant and took the six-page document, described in the affidavit as something "derived from material to which Keyser had access as a result of his employment with the Department of State." </P>
<P>The court documents do not say that Keyser accepted money and do not otherwise ascribe a motive. Neither Keyser nor his attorney returned phone calls yesterday. </P>
<P>Keyser told the FBI that the document he gave the two Taiwanese agents contained "talking points" that he often would prepare for his meetings with the two agents, according to the affidavit. He said that his trip to Taiwan had been for sightseeing and that he had not notified anyone about it, including his family. His wife is a CIA officer. </P>
<P>State Department spokesman Richard A. Boucher said the department is cooperating with the FBI, but he declined to comment further. The affidavit does not describe the documents Keyser allegedly handed over as classified, and it is unclear whether any damage could have been done to national security. </P>
<P>Keyser is charged with concealing the trip to Taiwan by lying in May on State Department forms for security clearance that required him to disclose foreign travel. </P>
<P>News of Keyser's arrest stunned some in diplomatic circles, in which he is highly regarded as a China analyst. Keyser, a Foreign Service officer for three decades, speaks fluent Mandarin and is knowledgeable about the former Soviet Union. He has served in high-ranking positions in the U.S. embassies in Beijing and Tokyo, and was deputy assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific Affairs when he allegedly made the trip to Taiwan. </P>
<P>Keyser retired in July as the No. 2 person in the State Department's East Asia bureau, but he is still assigned to the department's Foreign Service Institute in Arlington. </P>
<P>"He is an absolutely superb specialist on China and a fine Foreign Service officer. I've never had the slightest reason to question his loyalty to the United States,'' said J. Stapleton Roy, a three-time U.S. ambassador who was Keyser's boss when Keyser was deputy director of the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research. </P>
<P>Roy quit his job in protest in 2000 after then-Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright suspended Keyser for 30 days and reassigned him because of lax security stemming from a missing top-secret laptop computer. Keyser was one of at least six State Department employees disciplined over the loss of the computer, which contained thousands of pages of information about weapons proliferation issues and was never found. Roy said yesterday that Keyser had nothing to do with the computer's disappearance. </P>
<P>This is the second recent instance of a federal official being implicated in passing documents to countries friendly with the United States. The FBI is investigating whether Lawrence A. Franklin, a Pentagon policy analyst, provided a draft presidential directive on Iran to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, and whether that committee passed the information to Israel, law enforcement sources have said. No charges have been filed. </P>
<P>The United States has a longstanding "one China" policy, under which it maintains diplomatic relations only with China, not with Taiwan. But Chinese officials recently have expressed frustration over the Bush administration's willingness to sell arms to Taiwan. China and Taiwan are adversaries, with China insisting that Taiwan reunite with the mainland. </P>
<P>According to court documents, Keyser traveled to China on official State Department business about Aug. 31, 2003. He then went to Tokyo on official business, but while in Tokyo took a three-day "side trip" to Taiwan, the documents say. </P>
<P>While in Taiwan, Keyser met with someone referred to in court documents as "Foreign Person One." He is described as a Taiwanese intelligence agent stationed at the Taipei Economic Cultural and Representative Office on Wisconsin Avenue in the District. </P>
<P>Court documents say James A. Kelly, assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific Affairs and Keyser's superior at the time, told the FBI that Keyser was not permitted to travel to Taiwan on official business because the United States and Taiwan don't have diplomatic relations and that he would have vetoed such a trip. </P>
<P>Experts were surprised that Keyser would travel to Taiwan right after visiting China. </P>
<P>"The whole idea that he could take a trip like this that was not authorized while he was deputy assistant secretary is ludicrous to me. People in that position don't just move around anonymously,'' said a former high-ranking State Department official who specialized in Chinese affairs and who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the case's sensitivity. </P>
<P>Keyser appeared in federal court in Alexandria yesterday and later was scheduled to be released on $500,000 bond. </P>

<P>职务是亚太地区副助理国务卿,就是那个凯利的副手呀!</P>
<P>哈……好玩了!</P>
级别够高!台湾的情报机关很有成绩

<P>凤凰卫视9月16日消息 华盛顿邮报今天以头版报导,美国联邦调查局指出,美国国务卿鲍威尔的中国问题专家唐纳-凯瑟涉嫌泄密,私下将美国政府机密文件交给台湾的情治人员,昨天被起诉。


<P>
<P>唐纳-凯瑟61岁,今年才升任美国国务院主要副助理国务卿,主管东亚与太平洋事务。


<P>
<P><B>传递美国政府文件给台湾情治人员</B>


<P>美国华盛顿邮报16日在头版报导,美国国务院主要的中国问题专家之一,才刚辞职不久的副助理国务卿凯瑟(Donald W. Keyser),因为隐瞒前往台湾的行程,而且涉嫌不当传递美国政府文件给台湾情治人员,在15日遭到逮捕。凯瑟15日在联邦法院出庭,预定将以50万美元交保。


<P>
<P>除了华盛顿邮报之外,美国纽约时报等主要媒体均报导的凯瑟被捕的消息。根据联邦调查局指出,凯瑟是在去年9月密访台湾。当时他名义上是要去中国大陆及日本进行官方访问。


<P>
<P>61岁的凯瑟被控在政府进行背景调查时,向联邦调查局作出不实声明,以隐瞒他曾前往台湾的事实。根据两名布什政府官员向纽约时报表示,凯瑟被控的罪名,其实只是扩大调查的一部分﹔联邦调查局现在正把本案朝向可能涉及间谍罪发展。而匿名的司法部官员则不愿向纽约时报说明本案到底有多严重。


<P>
<P>联邦调查局干员在最近数周对凯瑟进行跟监,发现他跟台湾两位情治人员接触频繁。根据联邦调查局表示,凯瑟在7月31日于波多马克河畔一家可看到华府市区景色的餐厅交给台湾特工两个信封,「上面明显有美国政府的文书记号。」


<P>
<P>9月4日在同一家餐厅,凯瑟又把一份名为「讨论要点」的美国政府文件交给台湾情治人员。联邦调查局于是决定拦阻这三人,取走了这份六页长的文件。根据联邦调查局表示,文件内容是「来自凯瑟因为在国务院任职所能取得的资料。」


<P>
<P>法院文件中并没有说明凯瑟是否涉嫌收受台湾当局的金钱,也没有说明凯瑟此举的动机。凯瑟和他的律师15日都没有对外表示任何意见。


<P>
<P>根据凯瑟告诉联邦调查局,他给台湾两名特工的文件中,包含了「谈话要点」,也就是他每次要和这两人会面时,所要谈论的重点摘要。他还说,去年9月到台湾是「观光」,因此没有告诉任何人,包括他的家人。凯瑟的妻子是中情局人员。


<P>
<P><B>突赴台三天</B>


<P>根据法院文件指出,凯瑟是在去年8月31日以国务院官员身分前往中国大陆访问,接着转往日本。在日本期间,他又突然前往台湾三天。待在台湾的期间,凯瑟会见了一位代号「外交人物一号」,这名人士身分是台北驻华府经济文化代表处的情治人员。


<P>
<P>纽约时报指出,台湾去年因为执意举办公投,和美国与北京的关系紧张。布什总统利用去年11月会见中国温家宝总理的场合,当面表示他反对台湾和中国大陆片面改变现状。布什这项声明引起台湾当局的不满,据说凯瑟在当时就是负责处理这段关系。


<P>
<P>根据美国官员透露,凯瑟所负责的事务,还包括在陈水扁连任成功时,促使台湾撤回其与中国大陆爆发冲突的立场。另外,凯瑟在促使中国支持美国的朝鲜政策上,也扮演了次要角色的。


<P>
<P><B>包润石:已配合调查</B>


<P>对于前美国国务院副助理国务卿唐纳凯瑟(Donald W. Keyser,又译凯德磊)因涉嫌将美国政府文件交给台湾的情治人员,昨天遭起诉一事,美国国务院发言人包润石表示,国务院已充分配合联邦调查局的调查,但他不愿再进一步评论。


<P>
<P>凯瑟被逮捕的消息,震惊了华府外交圈,他一直被高度肯定,是中国问题分析专家,凯瑟在外交公职服务了30年,可以讲流利的中文,也了解前苏联问题。


<P>
<P>包润石在面对媒体询问时表示,国务院已和联邦调查局充分合作,至于进一步情况,包润石不再多发表意见。(综合报道) </P>
<P>不知道台湾想要什么机密情报呀?</P>
<P>一定是想偷F22的资料</P><P>每错的</P>
F22的资料不可能出现在国务院。
