More secrets about [Senator Edward] Kennedy’s collaboration with Moscow became known after the famous defector Vasiliy Mitrokhin smuggled his invaluable archive of secret KGB documents to the West. In 2002, he publicized some of them in The KGB in Afghanistan working paper, published by the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. In 1980 Kennedy attacked President Carter over the latter’s tough opposition to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. As Mitrokhin reveals, the senator had evidently coordinated that with Moscow several weeks before - through Tunney and Egon Bahr, West Germany’s top Social Democrat who often had secret contacts with the KGB.Then in 1983, according to the notorious KGB document quoted by Sebastian and now by Kengor, Tunney conveyed another secret message from Kennedy to the Soviet leader, communicating to Andropov the senator’s willingness, “in the interest of world peace,” to take some joint measures against “the militaristic policies of Ronald Reagan.” When the KGB received this information, they classified it at the highest possible level - not only as “top secret,” but also as “of special importance” and a “special file.” [...]
I know it's too late to get him for manslaughter and drunk driving; but as I understand it, there's no statute of limitations on treason.

His nephew (I think. Who really understands the Kennedy family tree?) has joined the leaders of Ecuador, Bolivia and Cuba in taking bribes and working as a front-man for Chavez. Nothing really changes.
