Below is an excerpt from a website, but it is my understanding that this is fairly accurate. Besides this, I wonder if anyone here knows what the orginal Watergate breakin was about? The history of McCarthy and the Watergate breakin is truly twisted to suit the Democrats needs.

Documents from the Soviet Union’s archives, USSR spy messages deciphered by the U.S. government’s Venona program, and declassified FBI files and wiretaps all prove that hundreds of U.S. officials were agents of an international Communist conspiracy. If these previously inaccessible documents shed light on only a few of McCarthy’s specific charges, they certainly vindicate his general charge that security in the U.S. government was lax and that large numbers of Communists penetrated positions of great importance.

Alger Hiss, Roosevelt foreign policy advisor and first secretary general of the United Nations; Harry Dexter White, assistant secretary of the Treasury and Truman’s appointee as director of the International Monetary Fund; and Lauchlin Currie, administrative assistant to Presidents Roosevelt and Truman, have all been confirmed, among hundreds of others, to have been agents of the USSR. In addition to the multitudes of executive branch agents, we also know of at least three Congressmen working clandestinely for the Soviet Union during this time period.

Have you ever read Venona Secrets? I recommend it.

Joe McCarthy was right and I wish he'd had the goods on these people. Although, where there's smoke, there's fire and if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and smells like a duck.... My guess is most of the "innocents" were sympathizers and their ideological and physical descendants are still with us. The Russian archives also showed that the Rosenbergs were commies.
