Oooh, watch it. You’re going to get creamed for defending Pollard. Unfortunately, this is the one issue where most mainstream conservatives agree with the anti-Semites, and they don’t even know the facts of the case.
I know. It is like they didn’t bother reading the article. What part of lie do they not understand?
It doesn't matter to them. They just hate him because.
1. Pollard has never applied for a pardon. That itself should be a major indicator of what has gone on behind the scenes here. He wants to be released outright without going through the formal process because a lot of the information from his case would be made public in the event he applied for a pardon.
2. Joseph DiGenova, the Federal prosecutor in the case, was willing to make a plea deal with Pollard for lesser charges at the time of the case. Now, however, DiGenova is adamantly opposed to Pollard's release under any circumstances.
Here's a real eye-opening debate on the subject from a few years ago on CNN -- involving DiGenova and Rep. Eliot Engel (D-Israel):
this is all just so much horse crap.
Pollard is a spy.
He deserves the death penalty.
