55 years ago today...

Julius and Elthel Rosenberg were executed for passing the secrets of the atomic bomb to Communist Russia.  Yes, that was back in the good ol' days when we actually prosecuted, convicted, and executed people who were guilty of treason.  Sadly, we now hold multiculturalism so highly that it usurps the Constitution, making treason just another quaint, old-fashioned law like not allowing women to wear pants. 

From what I hear, The Rosenberg File is the definitive source for information on the traitorous duo.  As much as I would like to, I have yet to read it.  (I am horrible at reading non-fiction historical books.  Witness by Whittaker Chambers has been on my bookshelf for about 2-3 years now just waiting for me to become an adult and read big kid books.)  The authors set out to write a defense of the Rosenbergs, and found that the evidence just didn't support it.
