Warren Asked Obama to Exonerate Ethel Rosenberg
Clearing the name of a traitor was a priority for the Democratic presidential candidate.
Fri Jan 17, 2020 Matthew Vadum
Radical U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, who could be the next Commander-in-Chief, asked then-President Barack Obama in his final days in office to formally exonerate Soviet atomic spy Ethel Rosenberg, according to media reports.
This was a not a request for a mere presidential pardon, which the Department of Justice cautions does “not erase or expunge the record†of the conviction, but a request that history be rewritten.
Warren, now a leading contender for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination, sent a letter dated Jan. 10, 2017, on behalf of one of Rosenberg’s sons.

She's really fond of rewriting history - her own, and the nation's.

I think Abba had a song about Waterloo, went something like this:
The history book on the shelf
Is constantly re-writing itself.

The New York Times Gets Greenglass Wrong
A front-page obituary of David Greenglass published this week in the New York Times is seriously flawed. Not only does it contain inaccurate statements of fact, it also misrepresents the views of historians about the Rosenberg atomic espionage case.
The obituary stated that there is a “consensus among historians†that “the Greenglass-Rosenberg atomic bomb details were of little value to the Soviets, except to corroborate what they already knew, and that Ethel Rosenberg had played no active role in the conspiracy.†As five historians who have written six books on Soviet espionage, three specifically on the Rosenberg network and three in which the Rosenberg case was a major focus, we cannot fathom how that statement can be supported.
The obituary states that Greenglass, who worked in the Los Alamos machine shop that produced models of the implosion detonator for plutonium bomb designers, admitted providing to Rosenberg “a crude sketch†of the detonator, a key technical breakthrough by the Manhattan Project. It fails to mention that documents from the KGB archive made available in 2009 state that Greenglass gave Soviet intelligence the ignition cartridge of the detonator and a 33-page letter of details on the bomb that a KGB officer called “highly valuable.â€
Soviet archival documents also show that Ethel Rosenberg hid money and espionage paraphernalia for Julius, served as an intermediary for communications with his Soviet intelligence contacts, provided her personal evaluation of individuals Julius considered recruiting, and was present at meetings with his sources. They also demonstrate that Julius reported to the KGB that Ethel persuaded Ruth Greenglass to travel to New Mexico to recruit David as a spy.

When I go to my favorite bar in town I park across the street at the MHMR parking lot to further cover up my drinking habit but I never worked at a gas station, that takes a special kind of stupid.

You're showing your age (she got around), but that was in my college years.

Nah, but you have to be patient with idiots. I worked at my Girlfriend's dad's station for cash, when the weather on the mountain was too bad for construction work. Not bad as a second job.

Yep! Full service...
I still do full service at the Conoco... As I think it is a good thing to have fresh eyes looking under the hood on a regular basis... And it gives me a good relationship with the gas station, where I also get oil changes and such... not because I can't do it myself, just leaving some on the table for the next guy. Everybody gotta eat.:shrug:

Yeah, I have a guy who does a bunch of my mechanic work. I have called him from 1000 miles away and he's helped me out over the phone. It isn't that I can't, but like you said, we all gotta eat. Besides, he's good. I never stop by that I don't learn something.
