I haven't heard about this elsewhere

... and I wonder why:

In his book, which came out this week, 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.

You know, even if it is Teddy, I'd really like to think that no member of the US Senate would have offered to conspire with the KGB against his own President. But I'm finding this story believable.

It's very unlikely. No one from senate would consider to join forces with Saddam or N. Korea, for example. This is madness. KGB was a public enemy during cold war, so... same story.
