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 This document as it was originally made public was almost completely redacted.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:
- “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.”
@ Curt, I’m sure that some serious Fact Finding was the result. Congressional Delegations, CODELS, that visited Iraq loved the Green Zone. General Order #1 Prohibited Booze elsewhere.
You’ll note this happened before his brother JFK was shot. So no claims it was out of some sense of anger over what happened can be made.
