As for Robert Meeropol, I can't imagine what it would be like to be raised in such circumstances. I don't know whether he's a useful idiot or a true believer, but part of me does feel sorry for him.
We should not fall for the "Pay-Me-I'm-A-Victim" scam. The son of spies is playing the victim game just to make money from writing yet another book that capitalizes on corrupt individuals who undermined American national security for years and years.
