always wondered: why was it so important for so many on the left to believe
that the Rosenbergs really weren’t spies? After all, the accusation was that
they shared information with the USSR, during WWII, when it was an ally of the
US.<o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>

kind of issue has always seemed like the left at its sillier, though not as
silly as the identity politics of today, in which Judis’ comments are somewhat sound.
The Hiss case is another example. Back in 1968, for example, I bought a copy of
Whitaker Chambers’ WITNESS secondhand, read it, and decided immediately that it
was stupid to care whether or not Hiss was a spy. Chambers sounded fairly
convincing but it seemed clear to me that if I had been Hiss I would have done
exactly what they accused him of doing. And why not?<o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>
