Kansteiner and Wilson

Wilson-Kansteiner Connection; Source of Valerie Plame Leak?

Wilson says he went and told Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Walter Kansteiner about his Niger trip before he left, and Kansteiner approved it and gave him a little help.[1] Aren't all diplomatic trips to the continent of Africa cleared with the Assistant Secretary of State for Africa?

U.S. intelligence sources maintain that the Nairobi and Bukavu documents were crude forgeries produced after then-Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Walter Kansteiner III met with Rwandan President Paul Kagame in Kigali on January 15, 2002.[2]

End of Appointment

November 2003 ... Personal reasons.. Why so soon? Normally appointments for Assistant Secretary are much longer?

Francine Kansteiner

Rumor of Rhodesian Background

MDC to meet British and US leaders in Botswana "Mr Kansteiner’s wife is reportedly a former Rhodesian and is believed to exert tremendous pressure on her husband to defend white interests in Zimbabwe especially those of former white commercial farmers. This explains Mr Kansteiner’s unusually hostile disposition towards Zimbabwe."

[http://www.zimbabwesituation.com/jul11b_2003.html Hoax and fantasy - from land to bank notes" By Michael Hartnack Zim Independent "Powell, the state media also alleged that Kansteiner's wife was "a Rhodesian with links to the notorious Selous Scouts". This fabrication may have been inspired by some vague memory that Chester Crocker, Kansteiner's predecessor in the post from 1981 to 1989, is married to a member of the well-respected Baron family of Bulawayo lawyers."

Ties to Republican Party

WALTER KANSTEINER: A CALL FOR OPPOSITION By Ann-Louise Colgan "Kansteiner has also strong family ties to the Republican Party. His wife belongs to the prominent Blount family, whose members are major contributors to the Republican Party and owners of Blount International, a large construction and manufacturing firm headquartered in Montgomery, Alabama. Kansteiner fits the profile of the majority of the middle-tiered appointees of the Bush administration, described in The Washington Post (March 25, 2001) as having "eclipsed Reagan's in conservatism.""

Powell Selects Kansteiner for Africa Post Reed Kramer Washington allAfrica.com March 9, 2001 "He and his wife live in Lincoln, Virginia and have two children. She is a member of a prominent Republican family from Alabama, which includes Winton M. Blount, who served as Postmaster General in President Nixon's Cabinet. Blount and his brother Houston, who were founders of Blount International, a large construction and manufacturing firm headquartered in Montgomery, have been large contributors to party coffers, along with other family members."

[http://www.alrba.org/site/hof/whblount.html Alabama Road Builders Hall of Fame ~ Class of 2003 William Houston Blount] "On August 5, 1943, he married Mary Francis Dean and they have five children: David Blount, Barbara Dean Blount King, William Houston Blount, Jr., Beverly Dean Blount McNeil, and Frances Dean Blount Kansteiner."
