:Thank you.  I will review it in detail (may take sometime).  It is a bit lengthy, and there are several other things that need to be discussed; for example, what does "McCarthy named" mean?  There are numerous examples of "being named" a CPUSA member, yet not involved in espionage.  Or what does it mean to "be investigated"?  Giving testimony is not necessarily "being investigated".  And another point, McCarthy primarily was investigating institutions, not persons.  So we have about 50 years of much bad information to unravel.  So let's try and find some common ground to begin with.  Thank you again.  [[User:RobS|RobS]] 17:53, 17 March 2007 (EDT)

By "McCarthy named," I mean he either stated, as he announced his suspicions in public, as he did with with Durand and Service, or summoned individuals as witnesses and cited them as possibly disloyal. Yes, indeed, there are numerous cases of people "being named" as communists but not involved in espionage. The resulting damage to an individuals career could still be pretty bad.

As for the word "investigated," giving testimony certainly qualifies as being investigated if that testimony consists of you being interrogated about your beliefs and your personal and professional life, AND having other witnesses being questioned about your beliefs and your personal and professional life. --[[User:PF Fox|PF Fox]] 19:42, 17 March 2007 (EDT)
