David Greenglass: Twice a Traitor
On June 19, 1953, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for passing secrets of the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union. In their trial, the primary witness against Ethel was her brother, David Greenglass. Greenglass was also convicted of spying and sentenced to prison, but he was released in 1960. Now, he's finally telling his side of the story.
This is David Greenglass's extraordinary story, including the shocking revelation that he lied on the stand and sent his own sister to the electric chair! TV G

I wonder - did he do it in order to save his own butt? Never mind - I don't want to know why. It is despicible, no matter the reason.

They were guilty.If the Rosenbergs had cooperated,their death sentence would have been commuted so they died for the Soviet secrets they kept.Greenglass did testify against his sister and caused her conviction .They of course recruited him and passed the info he had to the Soviets.This info killed many Americans in Korea.How am I doing?...;)

Intro: they were motivated by anti-fascism. No mention they were NKVD agents when the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany were allies.

They recruited him.They could have saved themselves but loved the Communist Soviet ideal more than their children or their lives.Think AlQaida or suicide bombers and you'll understand the mindset.They wouldn't talk.

Isn't perjury a capital offense when it results in an execution?
Let's pretend to take the Commie bastard at his word and fry him.

I'm sure there are some liberals and ex-commies out there who are all excited about the mileage they'll get from this one.
Outside of a few academics and devoted political junkies (those on our side as well as those on the Left), nobody under about age 65 has even heard of the Rosenbergs, much less cares. Those that do care are not going to change their minds on the basis of changed testimony 50 years later.

Was he lying then or is he lying now?

Intro: they were motivated by anti-fascism.No, I think they were mostly motivated by love of Sovietism, Stalinism, Leninism, etc.

The Venona files confirmed the Rosenbergs guilt.

I thought the KGB files were opened a couple of years ago and definitely implicated the Rosenbergs...

If the Rosenbergs had cooperated,their death sentence would have been commuted so they died for the Soviet secrets they kept.Yep, The Rosenbergs held their own fate in their own hands, they both would have been spared if they simply named their contacts.
