On the History Channel last night, David Greenglass was asked why he didn't flee the country (the Soviets gave his family and the Rosenbergs $10,000--over $70,000 in today's currency--to get out of dodge).

Greenglass said he didn't want to live in a "hell-hole" like the Soviet Union, China or any other country the Soviets would send him to.

So why the heck was he trying to make America into a Soviet Republic?

I don't get it.

Greenglass clearly was a guy influenced by his older sister and brother in law and the times. But he knew enough that he wanted to live here. He sounded to me like a guy who with a different set of relatives/friends would never have been involved in such acts.

The Rosenbergs on the other hand were true believers in what turned out to be a criminal form of government. Many if not most knew by the 1940s but some did not and the USSR was a US ally in name so it is easy to why the Rosenbergs existed at that point in US history.

It amazing that anyone would still defend giving atomic secrets to Stalin or Hitler or Saddam etc. The children should just be happy the USSR never used those weapons making their parents just slightly less evil.

Saw the same TV show on the traitor Greenglass and my reaction was the same as yours. The hypocrisy of the left is breathtaking. I think a lot of it is arrested adolescence combined with an equal amount of self-hate, with a liberal helping of stupidity. Go figure.
