Top Secret Sen. Ted Kennedy Files To Be Released [View All]

Family Given Permission To Review Files First
BOSTON (CBS) ―



The FBI kept a top secret file on the late Senator Ted Kennedy. There are thousands of pages in it.

There could be a lot of material in there that would make tabloid editors salivate. The files are being released after media requests under the Freedom of Information Act, reports CBS station WBZ-TV.

The FBI is ready to make 3,000 of those pages public, but before they do, the Kennedy family will see them first.

The Boston Globe reports that while the Kennedy's don't have the legal power to block the release of some of the material, they can request information be withheld if it violates their privacy interests.

But they can't object simply because it could be embarrassing.

There could be first-ever heard of information about Chappaquiddick. There might be never-before revealed details about threats on Senator Kennedy's life. We may learn of extortion attempts on his life.
