To the original author: Ted Hall was guilty of espionage. He also told his story to the FBI, later, and he granted multiple interviews in the later years. However, the opening of Soviet archives showed that they had no record of Alger Hiss at all. Also, there were no "300 officials" who were spies, and saying so is a repetition of exactly what McCarthy did: there were 300 people who had once been in the CPUSA who became officials. Being a member of the CPUSA didn't make any of them a spy. Further, Lenin did not describe them as "useful fools." That is his term for liberals of all nations: liberals ameliorate the plight of the working class, forestalling the revolution, but they can be used to bring about a revolution, to Lenin. Finally, the Rosenbergs passed on minor information of little value to the Greenglasses, who served no jail time and did not get executed, while the all-American boy Hall got no punishment. Let's get some information on what, exactly, Hall did, his birth date, his biography, why he acted, etc. Geogre 20:37, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)
