Judicial Watch has finally got the FBI to more fully respond to its FOIA requests respecting the late Senator Ted Kennedy and reports on what they learned in the released files.
- “While Kennedy was in Santiago he made arrangements to ‘rent’ a brothel for an entire night. Kennedy allegedly invited one of the Embassy chauffeurs to participate in the night’s activities.”
- “[I]n each country Kennedy insisted on interviewing ‘the angry young men’ of the country. He wanted to meet with communists and others who had left-wing views. …Ambassador Freeman, Bogota, said the first person whom Kennedy wanted to meet was Lauchlin Currie.” (The document subsequently identifies Currie as a person who “had been mentioned in Washington investigations of Soviet spy rings.”)
- “[I]n Mexico Kennedy asked Ambassador Mann that certain left-wingers be invited to the Embassy residence where interviews could be held. Mann took the strong position that he would not invite such people and stated that if any such interviews were to be conducted, all arrangements should be made by Kennedy himself.
Don’t you mean the Lyin’ of the Senate?

Probably better than driving himself.
Can’t argue with that, NCC.
I’d say “case closed” if the case hadn’t been closed decades ago.
I’ll never understand sexual gluttony or why it’s so prevalent in political types.
Is anyone EVER going to study the brains of these damned people we keep electing?
1. Presumably only a top-of-the-line brothel was good enough for him. I’m guessing that few if any junior sons of wealthy American families could afford it today. The dollar isn’t what it used to be–and Kennedy and his ilk had a lot to do with that.
2. Ambassador Mann had guts for saying ‘No’ to the President’s brother.
Or.. perhaps he was helping the Director of Central Intelligence – who else might be able to get these people to open up and talk frankly about their intentions and how they were going to accomplish them, and with whom?
I know, doesn’t fit the stereotype, but we’ve been surprised in the past. And it often takes 40-50 years for the truth to come out (truth that would get some people (and/or their families) killed today that helped us in the past).
Ari, You do know that the KGB files indicate Ted offered to help them in order to defeat Reagan in 1984, don’t you? http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2006/oct/27/20061027-084248-4386r/
