Nevertheless, after Sobell's confession of guilt, all other conspiracy theories about the Rosenberg case should come to an end. A pillar of the left-wing culture of grievance has been finally shattered. The Rosenbergs were actual and dangerous Soviet spies. It is time the ranks of the left acknowledge that the United States had (and has) real enemies and that finding and prosecuting them is not evidence of repression.
I wonder when some Rosenberg apologists will come forward and admit they were wrong. If this study is correct, some might actually have their convictions (i.e., their beliefs that the Rosenbergs were framed) strengthened.
