Wow.
I can't blame the Meeropols. If I were accused of treason, I'd hope my kids would spend their lives protesting my innocence. The ACLU is different. They're now trying to bring up the Rosenbergs w.r.t. Zacharias Moussaoi. Which, i suppose is appropriate; he's also guilty.
Actually the Meeropols were still in the closet while in college. I didn't know anything about Robert until years later when I saw their book advertised.
