    After the violent deaths of his brothers, the youngest Kennedy, Teddy, lived under constant threat that he too would meet an assassin's bullet. As he put it bluntly, “They're going to shoot my ass off the way they shot off Bobby's.”

    We are learning more about these threats, as the FBI has released 2,352 pages from its file on the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.

    The FBI has posted the file on its hot topics page. We're plowing through the pages. If you see new information in the files, please send us an e-mail.

    The new file is dominated by investigations of threats against Ted Kennedy, who died Aug. 25 at age 77. "These threats originated from multiple sources, including individuals, anonymous persons, and members of radical groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, 'Minutemen' organizations, and the National Socialist White People’s Party," the FBI said. "The file also contains threats from individuals angered by Kennedy’s stance on politics in Northern Ireland and allegations of an alleged Mafia plot to kill President Kennedy and Senators Robert and Edward Kennedy."

    In 1977, the FBI received a report that Sirhan Sirhan, who had been convicted of killing Robert Kennedy, had tried to hire a fellow inmate to kill Ted Kennedy. The file doesn't say whether the claim was substantiated.

    From John Judge:

    This poorly researched article about the recently released FBI files on the late Senator Ted Kennedy contains two potentially explosive references to the contents of the released documents, without comprehending their context or significance as reported. One concerns an inmate who was "housed next to" Sirhan Bishara Sirhan [in a California prison], the alleged but wrongly accused assassin of Robert F. Kennedy, for 18 months, and who claims Sirhan offered him $1 million and a car to kill Ted Kennedy, presumably on his release. This story is patently false on its face given the lack of motive and the resources on Sirhan's part. It is more telling as possible proof of an orchestrated FBI attempt to both smear Sirhan through this planted informant and to provide motive for a second patsy in another Kennedy assassination. The second revelation is even more eye-opening. Division V FBI operative Cartha Deke DeLoach (COINTELPRO and Office of Naval Intelligence) was apparently asked by Nixon White House Counsel John Dean on behalf of then-Attorney General John Mitchell to check discretely into the travels of Mary Jo Kopechne, the woman found dead in Ted Kennedy's car in Chappaquiddick's Poucha Pond on Martha's Vineyard during the election year in which Ted Kennedy was a possible candidate against Nixon's second term. Dean wanted to know if Kopechne had traveled to Greece in 1968. Had this story leaked out after the incident and during Watergate testimony, it would have opened the lid on people inside the government who posed much more of a threat to Ted Kennedy than the Klu Klux Klan and other disgruntled individuals who seem to be at the center of the FBI's investigative efforts. John Dean is still alive and should be asked about when this request was initiated, what they wanted to know and why, and what they found out, since the FBI response is redacted. I am sure there is much more to be found in the thousands of records just released and that serious researchers will spend time looking at these new files to reveal more of the hidden history surrounding the Kennedy family and the loss of democracy in the United States - John Judge
