"He was able to verify that the Rosenbergs were spies of the first rank and helped confirm a lot of what is known as the Venona intercepts..."

The facts about the Rosenbergs were also extensively documented in the book "The Venona Secrets". The Rosenbergs were part of extensive Soviet-sponsored spy ring that was inteneded to steal US atomic secrets. At this point in time the fact that the Rosenbergs greatly compromised US national security is incontrovertible.

"The Venona Secrets" also demolished the innocence of a number of left-wing martyrs:

*Alger Hiss was a paid Soviet agent,

*J. Robert Oppenheimer gave US nuclear
to the Soviet Union by way of a paid
Soviet agent,

*Many parts of the antinuclear movement
were funded by Soviet intelligence.

All of this is also confirmed with your references and others in Ann Coulter's book, "Treason." Ann's book also confirms there were a large number of proven soviet spies working in the FDR and Truman administrations. That book and its accompanying footnotes has changed my whole view of the history of the 20th century...bearing in mind that my view was largely shaped by the public school system and the media of the 60s and 70s.
