Comments on: Court Orders Release of Sealed Rosenberg Grand Jury Records http://historycoalition.org/2008/07/25/court-orders-release-of-sealed-rosenberg-grand-jury-records/ Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:20:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Suzanne Junod http://historycoalition.org/2008/07/25/court-orders-release-of-sealed-rosenberg-grand-jury-records/comment-page-1/#comment-2713 Suzanne Junod Mon, 28 Jul 2008 13:30:26 +0000 http://historycoalition.org/?p=417#comment-2713 Although I am no expert in this field, I would simply note that while I was touring the Spy Museum in Washington D.C., there was an exibit which seems to have left no room for doubt in this case. It surprised me because I thought the issue as to their guilt or innocence was still in dispute among scholars -- or at least it was when I received my Ph.D. It was two pieces of a Jello box that was supposedly used to identify "contacts." Does anyone have a more in-depth perspective on this. I was concerned at the time that the secret agencies had more access to information on this case than scholars, but I could easily be mistaken in that view.
