Nah - just ran 10 miles then biked 10 miles and my blood was kinda boiling before I read this thread. Then I read about this traitor-bastard, and it just makes me violent. He may "...have betrayed 50 U.S. spies and potential recruits." The number is probably larger. And many of them probably died deaths that were so painful that I can not imagine. And for what? Just like Margie said in "FARGO" - "All for a little bit of money."
All I need is a few minutes alone with this guy and I will find out what he divulged to the commies. Oh, I could use a bucket of water, a car battery and some jumper cables too. He would talk.
I understand and agree with #8. We (the US) screwed up when we didn't go for the death penalty for Ames. The precedent has been set. Just thought #6 was a little over the top. I didn't know him but I know people who live in Vienna who did know him and his family.
