Hmm. Anyone here ever heard of the Walkers, or the Rosenbergs?

Different cases - the Walkers gave away information on how the Yankees were stealing Russian secrets, which the Russians patched up by encrypting. The most current information on the Rosenbergs, gotten from decrypted Soviet communications and declassified US and ex-Soviet files, indicates that Ethel Rosenberg was probably innocent of spying, and Julius was spying but didn't give away any useful atomic secrets, and that the FBI probably knew at the time they had Ethel killed that she was innocent. Sometimes even having your secrets cracked isn't enough to protect you.... #--- # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, Freelance Information Architect, stewarts@ix.netcom.com # Phone +1-510-247-0664 Pager/Voicemail 1-408-787-1281 #--- # Export PGP three lines a time --> http://dcs.ex.ac.uk/~aba/export/ M0V]N9W)E<W,@<VAA;&P@;6%K92!N;R!L87<@+BXN(&%B<FED9VEN9R!T:&4@ M9G)E961O;2!O9B!S<&5E8V@L(&]R(&]F('1H92!P<F5S<SL-"F]R('1H92!R M:6=H="!O9B!T:&4@<&5O<&QE('!E86-E86)L>2!T;R!A<W-E;6)L92P@( T*
