(CNSNews.com) - While Soviet troops occupied Afghanistan in 1980, Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) worked in close concert with high level Kremlin officials to alter the direction of U.S. policy, according to documents made available through a KGB defector.
Details concerning Kennedy's correspondence with KGB agents are included in the writings of the late Vasiliy Mitrokhin who defected to Britain in 1992. The Mitrokhin papers highlight a meeting that took place at the behest of Kennedy between former Sen. John Tunney (D-Calif.) and KGB agents in Moscow on March 5, 1980.

This will be buried by the DNC's partner organizations, Reuters and the Associated Press.

I've talked to some liberals about this and have been a little surprised at their reactions. They aren't angry that he was trying to screw the country but they are mad that he was trying to screw Carter.
Beyond that they seem to think it's a non issue. (There is an election coming up after all.)

But, in Kennedy's estimation, the Carter administration had assumed an overly belligerent posture toward the Soviet Union after the invasion of Afghanistan, Mitrokhin wrote.
In Kennedy's view, "the atmosphere of tension and hostility towards the whole Soviet people was being fuelled by Carter" as well as by some key advisors, the Pentagon and the U.S. military industrial complex, the Mitrokhin report states.
Since there was intense disagreement between Kennedy and the administration on policy toward the Soviets, Tunney told the KGB that the Massachusetts senator had concluded "it was his duty to take action himself, which could force the Carter administration to act to de-escalate the crisis," Mitrokhin wrote.

He should be tried and if found guilty, shot for treason.

If these documents are true Kennedy should immediately step down and also face treason charges.

That stinking SOB traitor.Look again. Now we have TWO named Democratic traitors who collaborated with the KGB:
Ted 'I Let Her Drown' Kennedy
John Tunney
I wonder just how many more names will surface.
Any bets that John F'n sKerry's name will be there as yet another traitor that worked behind the scenes, without USA government knowledge, with the infamous KGB??

I hope the DOJ takes notice and initiates an investigation into treason...
That's right T-R-E-A-S-O-N....

Hi "Winged Hussar"!
It will forever evade me how Kennedy ever got elected, much less has remained forever in the U.S. Senate. I simply do not understand!
