Read more: Family stalls release of Ted Kennedy’s secret FBI Chappaquiddick file
Judicial Watch, a conservative website, reported this week that they had been given access to an FBI file on the late Senator Edward M. Kennedy that reportedly reveals he "made arrangements to rent a brothel" in Chile in 1961.
The website alleges that Senator Kennedy, long a figure of opprobrium for right wing groups in the United States, made arrangements to visit a brothel whilst visiting South America.
The documents were originally redacted when released last year, but Judicial Watch objected under the Freedom of Information Act and now claim to have viewed their contents.
The documents, the group say, allege that Kennedy, who was 29 at the time, took a tour through Chile, Mexico and other surrounding countries while he was serving as an assistant district attorney in Suffolk County.
Judicial Watch claim that one passage reads: "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."
However Kennedy watchers claim that most of 2,353 pages in Kennedy’s FBI file report the constant death threats and extortion attempts made on his life. They claim that rather than make sensational claims about the Senators sex life the files actually tell of a politician targeted early and often.
The Web site for Judicial Watch, the conservative organization, was offline after it reported its allegations.

Among Kennedy's many transgressions , one of the worse and most treacherous and insidious was his collusion with the KGB and an Evil Empire in an attempt to undermine the Reagan Presidency. The fact that Reagan was twice elected by overwhelmimg majorities was viewed by Kennedy with contempt , which was tantamount to contempt for the American public ,and the American democratic system of government.

JFK gave us the Bay of Pigs debacle , the Berlin Crises with the concomitant Berlin Wall , the Cuban Missle Crises , and began the war in Vietnam. He was the exemplar of a lecher ,as was Edward, couldn't even walk up a flight of stairs , and was kept barely alive by bizarre medical treatments and substances.

When does the FBI release its complete dossier on their homosexual leader J Edgar Hoover? Many would love to know who was putting it to JEH.

"Judicial Watch, a conservative website" Sys it all. Even after someone is dead a buried they can't stop digging for any dirt they can find.

Who cares. We all suspect the goings on with the wealthy, and have ample proof daily.

Judicial Watch is hardly a fair and balanced website - too much "reportedly" and "allegedly." Kennedy, who was no saint, is dead and I don't see how or why this "claim" is relevant in 2011 or newsworthy.

This dubious story is flypaper for right wing trolls.

Whats new? If it's good enough for those preaching from the pulpit anythong goes. Didn't the Franciscans have a brothel somewhere in Europe? If not theres no question they don't have a girl on the sidelines; under the giuse of 'spirituality' of course, just to make it legal.

The whole Kennedy family is genetically disposed to Hibernian hypocrisy and hedonism, so why be surprized by the late Big, Bad, Bloated Buffoon's nefarious activities?

Given the pathological nature of his father, disturbed behavior should come as no surprise. Sen. kennedy always got himself a "girl" when he visited his son in Rhode Island.

IS ANYONE REALLY SURPRISED OF THE ACTIONS OF THIS MURDERER?
cillowen | Mar 01, 2011, 10:37 AM EST
how many beauties in the brothel I wonder - another superman story. a dollar a pop days are long gone.
Newrone | Mar 01, 2011, 10:16 AM EST
I don't understand. Isn't that what brothels are for? Where's the story?

Typical of this family drunken, womanizing scum.

Boy am I ever surprised. Was for himself and his brothers?

And because someone alleged this and it's included in an FBI report, it's true? There's a long history of people who suffer from Anglophilia making up nasty, defamitory stories about the Irish, and the Kennedys are only a small part of it.
