As a wise person said on a previous post about a Nova special on the Rosenbergs (
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/772181/posts): Airing Ethel Rosenberg's son's claim that his mother was "murdered in cold blood by this government" is unspeakably callous. He in not a disinterested party and is hardly in a position to be objective. His mother's life might have been spared if she, or her husband, had named other Soviet agents. Some find her behavior heroic. But if she loved her son, won't she have been more concerned about assuring that he had a home to grow up in and less in the progress of international communism? The future will work itself out, without the exertions of any one of us, but our children need us uniquely to ensure their future. As parents, the Rosenbergs were failures. Sacrificing your children to some messianic ego trip is no more noble than sacrificing them to drugs or alcohol. But don't tell her son that.
And lest we forget ... the United States shipped to the USSR, in the Spring of 1943, ten of tons of nuclear materiel - including enriched uranium. This is long before the Trinity Test.
Yup, those shipments were done under the aegis of the Lend-Lease Program ... Harry "the Hop" Hopkins (aka - alter ego to FDR) was the director of said Lend-Lease program.
Known now ... via Venona documents ... Hopkins was USSR agent "No. 19."
So it goes ... and also recall that Ted Hall was never prosecuted. And who was/is "Quantum?"
