Reading what Ethel Rosenberg said ....I just see her as a Susan Sarandon type. Stubborn and trying to get the gov't into martyring her for the *cause*.

Both of them (J & E) seemed to have been so enamored of their political philosophy that they would not confess their crime. According to your link, if they did they would have served and been done with it. Eisenhower and the FBI did what they could (ie, the FBI had an open 24 hr a day phone line with them).

I see this as people who are dumbly hanging onto their political philosophy at all costs. They didn't have to die. They didn't have to have their children orphaned. But they knew they would become martyrs.

So many of the left today have this same idiotic philosophy, and dare I say the muslim suicide bombers have this same philosophy in their head.

It takes brainpower to get unbrainwashed.

Please don't do that! You may just have given some Hollywood commie the idea to do another ultra-left wing, extremist liberal movie dealing the "truth" about Ethel the traitor. No matter how bad such a movie is, it would certainly be nominated for an academy awrd (a show business salute to show business) as would Sue for her role as the lovely Ethel.

The government indicted Ethel, hoping she'd testify against Julius, or that Julius would confess, to spare her. What the government underestimated was the depth of the Rosenbergs' commitment to Communism. Ron Radosh wrote a book about the Rosenbergs, and showed that the Rosenbergs went to their death fully conscious of their status as "martyrs" for the Communist cause.
