Guilty of spying for an ALLY. We were on the same side as the USSR. Spying for a ALLY doesn't get the death penalty ... unless of course, you are JEWISH. For that -- 10,001 Volts.
Did we HANG Lafayette for spying for the FRENCH? I am sure he brought back reports to the Court of France our military preparedness and abilities. When was the last time we hung a Brit or Canadian?
I do not see the difference of those so-called "patriots" willing to twist the Constitution's provision for Treason into a noose fit to hang Jews and an Arafat kiss-up.

Soviets gave the Rosenberg and Greenglass families ten grand to split in order to get out of the country (about $73,000 in 2003 dollars).
Greenglass just said he didn't want to leave the USA and go to a "hell-hole" like the Soviet Union or China.

In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of their execution in the electric chair, I would like to see both Rosenberg's rotting skeletons dug up and electrocuted again on TV. I hate communist scum, and anything that can demean them is fine with me. And no, I'm not a really nice guy in real life either!

The Venona files confirmed the Rosenbergs guilt.Yes, and it turned out the Soviet's code name for Julius Rosenberg was 'Liberal.' (**snicker**)

"Guilty of spying for an ALLY. We were on the same side as the USSR."You could make a weak case that the Soviets were our allies and on the same side until the end of WWII; but, even during the war the US realized that the Soviets were more of an enemy than the Nazis.
HOWEVER, Julius and Ethel were tried in the 1950's, during the cold war, when the Soviets were our arch-enemies. They weren't spying for an ally by any stretch, and the fact that they were Jewish is not relevant.
Bottom line? We were definitely not on the same side as the Soviets during this period and history shows that the two were stone cold guilty. They paid the price, and Ethel's brother should have also....

It's one of those unfortunate deals you make with the devil who will talk.The Venona files could not be revealed I believe because we didn't want the Soviets to know we'd cracked a code.

No argument there; it happens all the time in the intelligence community. My response to the poster was triggered by statements made which were transparently false. I don't know if the poster is deliberately spreading disinformation, or simply ignorant of history.
Either way, I don't care. I've been correcting historical inaccuracies on this board for many years; it's a function I enjoy and a task which is critically necessary. It's what seperates us from liberal BS artists....

What had the Feds in a panic is that Venona had shown there were 349 Soviet agents in America. Of that, only 150 or so could be identified. With the Soviets pushing everywhere and America troops dying in Korea, it was imperative we find out who those other 200 agents were. That is why they squeezed the Rosenbergs. We never did find out who most of the traitors were.

Question: "What would you tell them if they were here today?"
Greenglass: "They were really stupid."
To: DPB101
As always, thanks for the tip. I had just checked on your posts at seven CST. I guess it's like somebody said, the Rosenberg's had the keys to the death house, and they didn't use them.
As far as all this bs about there never being a commie movement in the US, did you see the scene that showed 50,000 attending the demonstration in NY? Thanks again for the heads up.

I dont want to start anything, but the government seemed to be very careful to avoid any appearance of anti-Semitism. All, if not most of the government lawyers, and the judge were all Jews.
The Soviet Union by that time was no ally of the US. The Rosenbergs were communist spies thats why they got the juice. The fact that they were Jewish had nothing to do with it. IMHO.

Dead on, MEG33. There is no Rosenberg controversy except in the minds of liberals. The Rosenbergs did it, we know it, the files showed it, case closed.
Now that that's settled, can we book this Commie mofo for perjury, too?

As far as all this bs about there never being a commie movement in the US, did you see the scene that showed 50,000 attending the demonstration in NY?Yes. And they have not gone away either. Robert Meeropol, the Rosenberg's kid, has a Rosenberg fund for children of political activists who are harassed (he says) by the government. It claims to have 10,000 regular donors. Studs Terkel, Richie Havens, Ron Dellums, Susan Sarandon, Ed Asner, Pete Seeger--among others--are either on the board or are advisors. They had a benefit today in NYC.
