“He was “wrong” about Hiss because he agreed with him.
The fact that he was a Soviet agent was well known.”
Most people agreed with the original jury verdict of guilty of perjury. Some believed Hiss’s consistent claims of innocence. No one is in doubt any more.
There are lots of things that are “well known” that are not true at all, such as Vincent Foster committed suicide in Fort Marcy Park, and people cause global warming. We should all be free to question these “well known facts” without having our characters vilified by the likes of Cliff Kincaid.
Ahh --- But he like the others you cite espoused the "well known" facts long after the KGB files were publicized.
Facts don't mean much to those who have an agenda. There are those who are still saying Hiss and Rosenbergs are innocent. He probably still says Hiss was railroaded. Ask him.
