This is one of the lies in my new book, "48 Liberal Lies About American History," coming out in Sept., that the Rosenbergs were innocent.
They deserved every watt they got.

This crap again?
The Venona intercepts effectively proved Julius Rosenberg's guilt.
The case against Ethel Rosenberg is a bit murkier, but at the very least she was an accomplice after the fact.

Thanks for the link. I even had to turn the tv off to concentrate on it. Very good reading.

That won’t make a difference. They still are in the progressive martyr pantheon with ol’ Sacco and Vanzetti.

It appears that Ethel was a victim of family politics. If she just would have answered the question “Are you or were you ever a Communist” honestly, she might have lessened her punishment. But her brother didn’t have any trouble throwing her under the bus! Nice guy....

58 years later, records unsealed in Rosenberg spy case Here's a prediction:
1) The records will show Ethel and Julius were both guilty as sin.
2) This story on the opening of the records will therefore be the last we hear about the case in the moonbeam, er. mainstream media.
I guess there's one more possibility:
3) Hoping that few people will read the transcripts, the moonbeamers will publish stories directly contradicted by the unsealed recordsalleging that the records show Ethel was an innocent bystander.

The way folks think today the Rosenberg's would get off with probation.

Here's my prediction:
- Radosh and Milton already interviewed most, if not all, of the people who died or agreed to have their evidence revealed. There will be nothing new.
- Enterprising left-wingers will nevertheless claim that there is new evidence -- probably mitigating the case against Ethel. The putative New Evidence will be printed in The Nation.
- The mainstream media will continue to portray the case as "controversial" instead of the stone-lock on the Rosenberg's guilt that it was.
- Some idiot portrayed as a conservative -- most likely David Brooks -- will argue that it pretty much backs up the existing narrative, but Ethel got a bad break.
- At some point in twenty, thirty, or fifty years, conservatives will decide the thing's been settled and stop defending it. At that point a new retrospective version of history will be introduced that concludes the whole thing was an incredible overreaction, and that view will pass into the conventional "wisdom."
- Eventually, the Rosenbergs will be acknowledged as people who made a bad decision, but were ultimately victims of a crazed witch-hunt in an irrational time in American History.

They would more than likely be in line for a democratic nomination somewhere.

Ethel belonged under the bus, or in the electric chair.

May be the Rosenberge children will finally shut up, but I doubt it.

IMPEACH Eisenhower! Believe it or not there is nothing preventing an ex-president from being impeached and removed from office.
I think the Slickmiester should be Impeached and Removed from Office. The public coffers could then be saved the cost of his retirement and SS coverage.

You know, I was almost ready to post a reply to you saying you had mis-spelled the program name only to do some checking and find out that Venona was correct name of the program.
