Thank you very much for these links. I plan to do a lot more research into the McCarthy/Malmedy matter before commenting.
It's very interesting that Utley had been an active Communist and a participant in Owen Lattimore's Communist spy-riddled Institute of Pacific Relations (IPR). Yet she ultimately defended McCarthy's motives in the Malmedy matter. Like much of the history of the era under discussion, there's been a lot of deliberate revisionism and distortion. There are many leaves on this artichoke that need to be exfoliated.

Maybe breaking the "silence barrier" is the most important things AC has done. The book is being talked about in many circles. I received mine on the Tuesday it was released and immediately read it. Knew before I got half way through it was going to be very controvercial.
What I find interesting about the RABINOWITZ article she has taken on the modus operandi of the liberals Coulter points out in the book.
1. Changing the subject (Malmedy matter/McCarthy vs Liberal agenda)
2. Attacking without using all the facts (Annie Lee Moss}
3. Exaggeration/ Generalization (the Black list vs. McCarthy's 53 members of government in sensitive areas)
4. Using position to ridicule/intimidate others into silence.
Rabinowitz may have made a BIG mistake.
