It shouldn't have to be said but with some people it does have to be said. Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were indicted, tried, convicted, and executed but a jury and judge. Joseph McCarthy was neither the judge or the jury. If you read the Venona papers then you will read the KGB files that confirm the Rosenbergs were spies and the in many cases McCarthy was correct. The conflict comes during that first speech when McCarthy said that there were over 200 communists in the state department. His actual speech said that there were 71 communists in the state department (which is number that the FBI was investigating) but a speech writer wrote in 200. McCarthy read something that was wrong and refused to backtrack. The press had the original speech but didn't do their due diligence.

But, I'm not so sure that I'd like him using that "eye" to select other likely targets. I guess 71 as a threatening number didn't sound scary enough in his mind's eye (ear?) so someone just sort of, you know, "estimated." I suppose Tailgunner Joe had never heard the number 71 or I'm sure he would have called his speechwriter out, right? Bueller? Bueller?
