Treason in the 1940s & 1950s

Reader comment on item: The End of Treason

Submitted by Jinny Myler Collins (United States), Aug 16, 2005 at 17:15

The last prosecution for TREASON that I remember, was the conviction and execution
of the Rosenburgs. Is that correct? It's certainly a different time, now. There have been
many acts of late that I would consider treason, but they go un-challenged.
