*Well it is an act of relativism to say the espionage for getting the bomb can be equated with the efforts to create a massive welfare-addicted underclass to subvert politically for Democratic votes. --~ [[User:TK|TerryK]] <sup>[[User_talk:TK|MyTalk]]</sup> 01:17, 29 March 2007 (EDT)

**The X-line, or the group working on stealing nuke know-how in the 40s was only one program. CPUSA underground apparatus operated as an arm of the KGB for 27 years, from 1921 (prior to restoring diplomatic relations) to 1948, had 800 to 1200 people involved, and as Hayden Peake, the curator of CIA’s Historical Intelligence Collection said, "No modern government was more thoroughly penetrated."

So penetrating a more-or-less free and open society, yeilded them agricultural secrets? How does one compare penetration of a police state vis-a-vi a democracy? I'm not arguing the point we were penetrated, I just note a somewhat alarmist or vindicative tone in the writing. The government being compromised isn't a small thing, but historically speaking, for what good it did them...I have been in the archives, and to imply Harding was hands-on and knowledgeable about much, well, one might as well claim Reagan actually worked 16 hour days on policy. --~ [[User:TK|TerryK]] <sup>[[User_talk:TK|MyTalk]]</sup> 09:41, 29 March 2007 (EDT)
