So the guy wasn’t a spy? If true he should be let out of jail forthwith. On the other hand, if he was a spy, my views are bit harsher than what the law normally allows. As for who he was spying on behalf, my only interest in that would be to know whom to ship the body to.
Aren’t people DEAD because of the information he sold?
If people can make $millions selling US secrets, and then get a 2-4 year sentence then that is going to seem like an awful good deal to a lot of people.
He should have been shot.
Message to Pollard-— convert to Islam, renounce Israel and trash Netanyahu. Barry will have you on the next day flight to Tel Aviv on El Al.
Spied for Pakistan, too.
Accepted jewelry as payment.
Two years ago the Mossad had their man in Europe flip on them and they kidnapped and threw him in prison —one they constructed specially for just HIM.
He died there under extremely spooky circumstances.
I am more concerned as to why the other guy was released then I am about Pollard still being in jail.
Jonathan Pollard refused to give the names and information related to his handlers.
And a lot of the ‘concern’ about ‘helping’ him is to make sure and get him out before he finally decides to sing.
Let him rot forever.
What is also interesting is...
that even if the charges were true, accurate....
the WashingtonDC administration persists on keeping this one little Jew locked up in prison
long long after it releases all other ‘spies’ who did similar bad things as this guy was charged with doing
even if the charges were true, they’re keeping the Jew locked up after they’ve released most of the others
note that Obama releases IslamoNazi terrorists who have American blood on their hands, and does so in a manner that enables them to return to the battlefield to shoot at, capture and torture, or crucify more innocent people (including Americans)
a fish rots from the head...
Used to think Pollard could FO and Die.
But we are releasing hardened terrorists from Guantanamo because they promise to be nice? And this Iranian thug?
Does seem ridiculous.
"...Pollard gave the Israelis vast amounts of data dealing with specific American intelligence systems and how they worked. For example, he betrayed details of an exotic capability that American satellites have of taking off-axis photographs from high in space. While orbiting the earth in one direction, the satellites could photograph areas that were seemingly far out of range..."
"A significant percentage of Pollard's documents, including some that described the techniques the American Navy used to track Soviet submarines around the world, was of practical importance only to the Soviet Union. One longtime C.I.A. officer who worked as a station chief in the Middle East said he understood that "certain elements in the Israeli military had used it" -- Pollard's material -- "to trade for people they wanted to get out," including Jewish scientists working in missile technology and on nuclear issues..."
"William J. Casey, the late C.I.A. director - the Israelis used Pollard to obtain our attack plan against the U.S.S.R. all of it. The coordinates, the firing locations, the sequences..."
""numerous" analyses of Soviet missile systems had been sold by Pollard to Israel, and that those documents included "information from human sources whose identity could be inferred by a reasonably competent intelligence analyst..."
"During his year and a half of spying, his Israeli handlers requested specific documents, which were identified only by top-secret control numbers. After much internal assessment, the government's intelligence experts concluded that it was "highly unlikely," in the words of a Justice Department official, that any of the other American spies of the era would have had access to the specific control numbers. "There is only one conclusion," the expert told me. The Israelis "got the numbers from somebody else in the U.S. government..."
"They often deal with signals intelligence, or SIGINT, and their world is kept in order by an in-house manual known as the RASIN an acronym for radio-signal notations. The manual, which is classified "top-secret Umbra," fills ten volumes, is constantly updated, and lists the physical parameters of every known signal. Pollard took it all. "It's the Bible," one former communications-intelligence officer told me. "It tells how we collect signals anywhere in the world..."
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.
this is all just so much horse crap.
Pollard is a spy.
He deserves the death penalty.
