Glad to see the comments show zero sympathy for the Commie scum. Two deaths richly deserved.
Their parents were obviously guilty, but given how the U.S. government let Ted Hall go free as a bird, they probably have an argument that their parents should have been executed.
Just because he was a Communist spy doesn’t mean he spied for the Communists!
All these two silly assed geriatric red diaper babies have to do is read the Venona public transcripts to finally acknowledge the full depth of their parent espionage.
Now they continue to equivocate. F’ em.
Talk about lousy timing !!!
If only the Rosenbergs had been part of a communist terror group of spoiled rich white kids during the 60s instead of just garden-variety communists during late 40’s/early 50’s, they be heading up departments at our prestigious universities, writing books and radicalizing a major city’s educational system.
He might have even been Chicago’s Man of the Year! But, no, due to such terrible timing they were executed. Just damn.
Isn’t it amazing how far we’ve come in 55 years? Downhill all the way.

Rosenbergs Granddaughter Sues NSA Over Spying - Rachel Meeropol
Ah yes, now one kid is a red diaper economics prof, and the other funds "children of targeted progressive activists and targeted activist youth."
Morton Sobell, slimebucket apologists for the treasonous stalinist Rosenbergs, has finally told us the truth...as if we didn’t already know.
If the Rosenbergs had lived in Chicago in the late 20th century, Obama would have probably taken up with them as well. They may not have been as sufficiently anti-American as the detestable Ayers, but Obama would have included them in his sh*tcargo politburo....

How's that again?
Hell, drawing a map to Los Alamos for the Soviets should do it!
Have you ever heard of Ted Hall?
Seemed an unusual thing to say.
Oops. Yes, I meant, “should not.”
Ping.
The Venona Transcripts settled beyond any doubt that the Rosenberg’s guilt. Their guilt was further corroborated by their KGB handler who went public with his dealings with them in the late 1990s.
The only people who still believe in the Rosenberg’s innocence who aging, left-wing academics who also pine for a return of Communism.
Is this the wrong time to bring up that Bill Clinton pardoned two other members of the Weather Underground as he was leaving office?
Radosh and Milton noted three decades ago certain aspects of the prosecution's case against the Rosenbergs were problematical, but still concluded that Julius and Ethel were guilty of atomic espionage and that the verdicts rendered were justified by the evidence.
What is striking here is that the Meeropols, after a half century of self-delusion, finally admitted that their parents weren't innocent, after all.
Mildred Gillars, aka Axis Sally wasn’t even charged with espionage and she was convicted of treason in WWII for a radio drama she broadcast.
American born William Joyce, aka Lord Haw Haw, was also convicted of treason, only it was the British who charged and sentenced him. To death. There is belief that if he’d been tried in America, he wouldn’t have been executed (and he is likely to have been a US citizen, unable to commit “treason” against England while in Germany).
The Rosenbergs don’t care about how Lord Haw Haw may have been “unjustly” executed.
Their parents were a contributing factor to the arms race, whether there was “one” piece of the puzzle, or something that confirmed Russian plans, it was stil an intent.
Unless their “no goodnik” UNCLE was the lone traitor. Are they trying to make the case that he should have been executed?
