My understanding from another Treason thread where the McCarthy / SS subject was discussed, is that McCarthy was uncomfortable with the process under which these SS officers were being convicted, and was demanding a "rule of law" approach rather than a "conquerors make it up as they go along" approach. If so, commendable and predictable behavior for a conservative.

I would welcome more information on the subject. Rabinowitz's criticisms seem very tangential.

I have only made one comment on this thread because I have neither read Coulter's book nor am I familiar with the case of the SS men.

There seems to be a lot of anger on this thread directed at Ms. Rabinowitz, who has always seemed to me to be a pretty fair person. I like Ann Coulter's work and she is one of the few opinion writers who takes the time to footnote her work, so that one can go to the original sources.

Therefore, I take both Ms. Rabinowitz's criticism seriously and also am reserving judgement on Ms. Coulter. It could be nothing more than an error on the part of researchers, or it could be something serious. Likewise, Ms. Rabinowitz's criticism could be based on faulty information about the SS case.

I need more information, and will have to read Ann's book before I can make a decent judgement. However, I do not think calling Ms. Rabinowitz a leftist and similar insults because she has criticized Ann Coulter is helpful to the situation at all. Reasonable people can disagree.

I hadn't really heard of Rabinowitz before this article and didn't anything about her, So I was guilty of assuming she was a liberal... MY BAD!

But I did read Ann's book and it isn't a biograpghy on McCarthy. It's a book about how liberals can't be trusted with our National Security and the tactics they use to demonize those who call them on it.

I think the Venona project vindicates McCarthy, Ann Coulter just points out that McCarthy was right about the Soviet Spies in the democratic party and McCarthyism was a manufactured slogan much like we hear the liberals today claim we are questioning their patriotism when a liberal like Jim McDermott goes to Baghdad and calls our President a liar and we call them on it.
