No...like the non-commies who were blacklisted and who couldn't work?
Okie dokie....
If you approve of people spewing hatred of anyone who doesn't agree with their narrow pov...
Personally, I think Annie already has too much of a forum, so there ya go.
And? You're surprised the KGB had tried to develop assets in the U.S. We certainly had plenty there during the cold war.
The Venona Cables are, actually, interesting. But more interesting, at least from my pov, was the transcript of the Rosenberg trial, which I had the opportunity to review and study in it's entirety at the Federal Archives. What was, painfully, apparent, is that the Rosenberg's were probably doing something, but since much of the testimony was unreliable, they probably shouldn't have been put to death. In particular, the Court allowed testimony about a desk with secret compartments, ostensibly found in the Rosenberg's home, but which "disappeared" before trial and was never produced to the jury. Judge Kaufman should have prohibited any testimony on the subject as prejudicial and not probative. Unfortunately, the hysteria of the time didn't make allowances for lack of evidence or for mere innuendo substituting for fact, which probably caused the judge to feel that he would be called a "commie sympathizer" if he made any favorable rulings. See a pattern?
