The same could NOT be said of the Rosenbergs. Julius worked on behalf of our most important ally in WWII -- the Soviet Union. It was that ALLY who took the brunt of Germany's attack, it was the Soviets who ground down the German war machine and who suffered losses far beyond any other of our allies. By helping the Soviet's efforts in WWII Julius Rosenberg was no more evil than any US merchant mariner who served on the icy and dangerous runs to Murmansk.

He was spying for the USSR prior to World War II. Indeed, he worked with the USSR while they were aiding and abetting Nazi Germany.
"Julius worked on behalf of our most important ally in WWII -- the Soviet Union."
Our most important ally--and most loyal--was the United Kingdom. The USSR was, at best, a co-belligerent, but they did not act in any way, shape, or form as a real ally. Indeed, Stalin routinely used the threat of negotiating a separate peace with Hitler to force concessions from the United States. They even interned US aviators who landed in the Soviet Far East.

Rosenberg did NOT help the USSR in World War II--he helped them to be able to fight World War III against the US.
