Instead of Fuchs sitting in a federal prison they should have strapped the bastard to a nuke and lit it off.....should have also filmed the event from afar, in one of our the bomb tests conducted in the Nevada Test Range, with the use of a large telescopic lens as a stern warning and deterrence to other Soviet spies looking to steal additional nuclear secrets from us........

I often wonder why the US Government didn't execute this rascal like others? The Rosenbergs come to mind right away. He obviously was a traitor and doomed the entire planet to an escalating nuclear arms war during the Cold War (that quickly could have turned into a very HOT war anytime), and the increasing threat of nuclear-terrorism forever more.
