I personally will always loathe and detest what America did to the Rosenbergs. Intent on murdering them from the outset the American Justice Department treated them abominably right up to the instant of their executions. Kept separate from each other, unable even to touch each other, each of them were held in conditions of a deploarble state. Wholly evident of a Police State hell bent on revenge. The interesting point about this entire 'communist' witch hunt that seized America at this time, is that in a true democracy it is perfectly valid to seek to undermine and revolt against government. President Abraham Lincoln's first Inaugural Address makes this very clear: "When the People shall grow weary of Government,they may exercise their democratic right to ammend it, or their 'revolutionary right' to overthrow it." Communists in America, had every right to try to undermine and overthrow existing government.

For the deaths of the Rosenbergs, for me, America lives in everlasting shame.
