Late U.S. senator Ted Kennedy has been accused of renting an entire Chilean brothel and seeking meetings with communists who had left-wing views.
The information came to light after a Freedom of Information request by Judicial Watch - the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption - who put pressure on the FBI to release the material.
Their file on the late senator, who died from brain cancer in August 2009, was released but contained a large amount of blacked out information - until now.
The statements previously withheld include accusations that during a tour of several Latin American countries he 'made arrangements to "rent" a brothel for an entire night, allegedly inviting one of the Embassy's chauffeurs to participate in the night's activities'.
In each country he visited he was also said to have 'insisted on interviewing "the angry young men" of the country as well as Communists who had extreme left-wing views'.
When he was in Mexico, it is said that his request to have certain left-wingers - one of whom was later linked with a Soviet spy ring - was refused as he was warned not to associate himself with such people.

Was Chris Dodd with him on brothel night?
Waitress sandwiches- woo hoo!
Look, he was still a man of the people.
Hmmm...maybe The Hero of Chappaquiddick actually was a pimple on mankind's @$$."
Bump for later
Renting a brothel was not the worst thing he did in his life.
We always knew he was a piece of garbage.
As opposed to..?
Stupid question: why do we have to find out about this in a British newspaper?
Once a young man learns that his family connections are so powerful that he can literally get away with murder, to what depravity will he not stoop? The man was a sociopath. Now he’s a dead sociopath who has gone to his eternal “reward”. He probably doesn’t find the accomodations as hospitable as a Chilean brothel.
As long as the people weren't drowning in a submerged Oldsmobile.
“The Lion of the Senate”
Think back to the moral indignation and faux-outrage that was coming out of this man during the Bork hearings, and your blood pressure will spike as high as mine is right now
oh gee. maybe this information would have been more helpful when he was ALIVE AND RUNNING FOR OFFICE! who gives a f@#$ now!?

So you don’t think it’s important to expose history, instead of whitewashing it?
Duly noted.
