So one gross miscarriage of justice against two good people was "a terrible blot on our [sic!] nation's history" -- i.e., on the history of an imperialist monstrosity that probably hasn't throughout its over-200-year history gone a single day without causing the deaths of hundreds (long ago) and thousands (more recently) of people around the world.

Please don't feed us this social-patriotic bullshit, "progressives"! With food prices rising, I can't afford to lose my dinner!

P.S. for the sake of those using search engines, I'll write: 'Julius Rosenberg'.
