KGB Letter Outlines Sen. Kennedy's Overtures to Soviets, Prof Says

   Just WOW... and just now on CNSNEWS.... "Paul Kengor, a political science professor at Grove City College and the author of new book, The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism."

Kengor focuses on a KGB letter written at the height of the Cold War that shows that Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) offered to assist Soviet leaders in formulating a public relations strategy to counter President Reagan's foreign policy and to complicate his re-election efforts. "

    It's Official: Sen. Kennedy a TraitorNot that all of you haven't known that for some time. And to think, his big brother almost started a nuclear war standing up to the Soviets. I wonder what Jack would say now?Sicky Notes has this from CNS News:

Has anyone tried to contact Professor Kengor to verify this report? CNS isn't exactly reliable. It seems to me a phone call to Grove City College and a ten minute conversation would clear up what precisely he is alleging and how sure he is of his sources.

My thanks for posting this and contacting me. This has caused actual, real loss of sleep this night. So, I will be thinking it over and posting from deep in the Land of Gray.

the amazon.com Publisher's Weekly review mentions the Kennedy/Russia connection, so CNS didn't just make the whole thing up.

This is actually not that new a story. It was first published back in 1992, and other places since then.

See my blog entry (http://homepage.mac.com/cptchaz/iblog/C1200806250/E20061021214528/index.html) on the subject for details.
