Top Secret Sen. Ted Kennedy Files To Be Released Family Given Permission To Review Files First BOSTON (CBS) ―
The FBI kept a top secret file on the late Senator Ted Kennedy. There are thousands of pages in it.
There could be a lot of material in there that would make tabloid editors salivate. The files are being released after media requests under the Freedom of Information Act, reports CBS station WBZ-TV.
The FBI is ready to make 3,000 of those pages public, but before they do, the Kennedy family will see them first.
The Globe reports that while the Kennedy's don't have the legal power to block the release of some of the material, they can request information be withheld if it violates their privacy interests.
But they can't object simply because it could be embarrassing.

Oh I’m SURE the Kennedy family will have nothing to say about what is released! And the public will get nothing but the TRUTH about the swimmer.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The fact that most of them are “dead” is in itself a “sanitizing” action for Ameriica.
What? Sandy Berger not available to sanitize them first?
In the movie Charlie Wilson's War, there's a scene where the CIA guy says it's great that Wilson is being investigated for cocaine use: "If you've got sex and drugs to look at on this hand, you can hide a f***ing battlecruiser behind THIS hand, and no one's going to see it." Great movie.
I think he lived his life the way he wanted and wheter or not the sordid details are public or not public...it doesn’t matter. We all know who he was and what kind of person he was. So do the kennedeees. So, it is more important for THEM to pull out what they don’t want publicized. As for us...what we know is bad enough...so why would we want to know anything further about this disgraceful man? Everyone who knew him knows what he did over his years. Doesn’t matter now anyway. He is gone. He lived his life as he CHOSE to live it. So, who cares anymore anyway? He’s gone.
Well written!!!
That WAS a great movie. We watched it once. Thanks for the reminde...we’ll check it out again.
Massachusetts found him guilty ... and sentenced him to life in the biggest swankiest Federal Country Club imaginable. The US Congress.
Need a link to ALL these secret documents.
Guess his lawyer or family wasn’t as good as his brothers. Their secret documents are still sealed.
Here’s what I first thought the title said:
“Top Secret: Sen. Ted Kennedy Files To Be Released”
Then I wondered from where he filed to be released, and how anyone found out about the filing. The first question immediately answered itself.
Then, I rubbed my eyes & realized there is no colon in the headline.
“He should have been hanged for that.”
He would have broken the rope;)
The School of the Americas (SOA), in 2001 renamed the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, is a combat training school for Latin American soldiers, located at Fort Benning, Georgia. Initially established in Panama in 1946, it was kicked out of that country in 1984 under the terms of the Panama Canal Treaty. Former Panamanian President, Jorge Illueca, stated that the School of the Americas was the biggest base for destabilization in Latin America. The SOA, frequently dubbed the School of Assassins, has left a trail of blood and suffering in every country where its graduates have returned.

Looks like somebody might have to break out Sandy Berger again.
Paging Howie Carr...
Slight of hand is an art that is practiced regularly in politics.
Did he ever have a “noble” moment in his entire life? I don’t know of one off the top of my head.
Respect, ethics, learning, history, human rights. What Kennedy could support that?
“Unedited or redacted ?”
Well, John F’n Kerry’s military papers were released..to a hagiographer-journalist only.
So you know what will happen. The “new” papers will prove that it was Teddy who risked his life to bring his brother to shore after PT-109 got zotted.
How much on his private “foreign policy” with the Kremlin?
enough material for Lifetime to get at 57-part mini-series out of it
You are correct! Editors and reporters sat on unfavorable stories about Edward Kennedy for years.
