Have you heard of the International Spy Museum? They were on CSPAN today discussing the cold war era of spying and the many American spies who sold out their country to give secrets to the Soviets. Yes Virginia, there really were American spies who spied for Russia. Joe McCarthy did not make that up.
They talked about the Venona Papers which are available in book form. For many years we have been hearing the left scream about MCCARTHYISM!!! as if Senator McCarthy was some power drunk madman who made up lies about innocent people. Now we know that there really were many American communists who valued the works of Karl Marx over our Constitution.
