I agree on eliminating RE Lee from the list. Alger Hiss should be up at #2. And move Pound from the top 10 to 11th and insert the Rosenbergs.

R.E. Lee betrayed his nation, the United States of America, at a time when the nation most needed him

Is my browser not working properly?I dont see any names and dont recognize some of them or an explanation why they were chosen.Who are they?

Fritz Kuhn was well-known during the 1930's, but by the time war broke out in 1941, his star had fallen. He shouldn't be on this list because he contributed virtually nothing to the Axis war effort. Ezra Pound was a critically acclaimed poet.

No wonder the leftists came up with all of their kooky conspiracy theories about the JFK assassination, they just couldn’t handle the fact that JFK was killed by a Commie.

As a Nam Vet, I think there is room for one more....

In fact, in my book, he would be right up there with Hanoi Jane in 1st or 2nd place...

United States Constitution - Article 3, Section 3

“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.”

Any honest and learned individual who can see through neo-confederate nonsense can understand the obvious; Lee was a traitor.

I find that a bit far-fetched. Oswald was a Marine infantryman. Just how in the heck would he have known how to shoot down a high flying U2? I know Marine sharpshooters are good — but not THAT good.

Also, I note the Walkers are not on this list. And they should be.

He was leader of an enemy army. That’s all it takes.


No. Robert E. Lee was all about Virginia. It pained him greatly to refuse command of the Union Army and eventually lead the Confederates. As went Virginia, went Robert E. Lee.

Just goes to show what one motivated Marine and his rifle can do.

Lee did his duty as he saw fit. I don’t doubt that he could have gotten another command position if he had wanted it.

It says treason against the United States of America - not the ‘Union’.

He never was a citizen of the Union, and so could not have been a traitor against her.

Sandy Burglar, That dude risked a lot by stuffing papers in His pants, shortly after 9-11. He got away with it, But what He did, stealing State secrets or evidence, is what a traitor does. He belongs on any list Fonda is on.

Where’s the Rosenbergs?


Exactly. Whomever compiled this list just pulled names out of a hat and can remove R.E.L. posthaste. The Monti character is interesting, but hardly in the ranks of the Rosenbergs or Teddy “Secrets for Chivas” Kennedy, for that matter. Despicable cretin.

Instead of punishment Berger sits on the board of the International Crisis Group with the likes of George Soros and Kofi Annan.

“Lee did his duty as he saw fit. I don’t doubt that he could have gotten another command position if he had wanted it.”

370,000 United States soldier died in the war.

Are you really going to defend the man who led their enemy?

Oswald was a Marine infantryman.

No, he was not.

Oswald was a Marine RADAR operator.

The United States of America was a union of 34 states in 1861.

R.E. Lee fought against this great union.
