Oh yes, the good old commie witch hunts. Maybe you haven't been keeping up, but that was like 50 years ago. They don't need to round the commies and commie sympathizers up (or the terrorists and terrorist sympathizers). We have technology and the Patriot Act now! Personally, I don't care, because I don't do anything that could be considered to aid and abed the enemy, I don't provide support, refuge, aid or support to any terrorist organizations and my computer traffic and telecommunications would be boring to anyone else monitoring. As anyone who reads any of my responses knows, why use two words, when I can use 100.

This happens every day, by police or a D.A. . Talk or your going to jail. We don't care if your guilty or not talk.
How many of Clinton's friends spent time in jail just because they wouldn't say he did something wrong. Don't think this kind of thing is in the past, it isn't.

Let's change that to them being a terrorist. If they were here to do harm to Americans, and I discovered that, I would then drop a dime in a heart beat. No friend of mine would hurt innocent people. But for being a communist? Nah....I would just work on them until they got their head out of their butt.

What are you trying to do, change history? Nothing has ever happened in this country even vaguely similar to what you described.
Just like the left's continual demonizing of McCarthy. McCarthy was a pathetic person, but he was right about communists. The facts bear it out.

Having been lied about by friends and knowing the pain that caused me I would never be able to do that in turn to any one else

Make up something? Never. Turn in a friend for plotting a terroist attack? You betcha . That would tell me I was beng used and not a real friend.

National security comes before friendships. Also, why would you want to be friends with people that are looking to harm the U.S.?

I'd probably just kill myself. Who wants to live in a world like that?

No.
My commitment to loyalty and confidentiality is more important to me than my own safety.
