[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 812562, member: 12952"] [B]Judicial Watch Obtains Previously Redacted Material from the FBI File of the Late Senator Ted Kennedy[/B] The documents include a December 28, 1961, State Department memo describing a tour of several Latin American countries taken by then-Assistant District Attorney of Suffolk County Kennedy. This document as it was originally made public was almost completely redacted. After an initial challenge by Judicial Watch, a version with fewer redactions was released. Judicial Watch continued to argue that the blackouts were baseless and, after six more months, the FBI relented. Among the statements previously withheld but now made available to Judicial Watch: [LIST] [*]“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.
