The decision not to charge the Rosenbergs with treason may stem from the fact the Cold War remained latent, instead of being formally declared by [[Congress]]. This would mean that the definition of "enemies" is actually more problematic than that of any other word in the Constitution's treason clause, since the Rosenbergs undoubtedly adhered to the [[Soviet Union]] and gave it 'aid and comfort'. Comparably, [[Jonathan Pollard]] was also charged with and convicted of espionage and sentenced to life imprisonmment for passing American secrets to [[Israel]], a state usually described as a stalwart ally of the U. S. As with the Rosenbergs, there were loud protests, this time including calls for a Presidential [[pardon]].
