1. Ted Kennedy was on the terrorist watch list.
Ever since Prescott Bush blamed the Kennedy brothers for the Bay of Pigs, the Bush family has hated the Kennedys.

3. Yes, I am concerned that they will do anything to stay in power.
I can't see them willingly leaving the WH to some democrat in 2009, who would then open the door to unhampered investigations of the crimes of bushco.
