November 14, 2003 -- WASHINGTON - A federal judge yesterday rejected convicted spy Jonathan Pollard's latest attempt to fight his life sentence for selling military secrets to Israel. U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Hogan, who is chief judge of the court, also noted in a blunt order that Pollard seemed to have little hope of winning a presidential pardon.

As long as the spy is *jewish*, right?
If there's a short pier near you, near a stormy sea, would it trouble you to take a long walk?
It would improve the air, considerably.
I think the other spies got off way too easy, too. Johnny Walker Lindh should be hanging from the gallows. But I wasn't the prosecutor.
Tell you what, if I take that long walk, and it turns into a long swim, and if I wind up in Israel spying for the US, then you'll put in a good word for me, OK? After all, I'm just spying on a friend, right?
Don't bother, the Israelis would secretly execute me, as they bloody well should. They need to take whatever measures they deem necessary for their security, they're on the front lines of this war. Like we were on the front lines of the Cold War at the time of Pollard's offenses.
At least I don't believe Pollard should be executed. He's far too valuable as a bargaining chip if we ever need him for that.
But I don't want any friendly or unfriendly spies. The difference between me and the other fellow I've been sparing with here, is that if any Canadian comes down and spies on the US, I believe we can shoot him.
I don't know if my efforts worked, but I heard after the fact that Barrak (spelling) lobbied sleeze-bag Billy-boy to have the sentence commuted.
I bet if Denise Rich's fugitive ex-hubby would have thrown enough coin on the table, Pollard would have walked.
Hey Pollard you're the one that did the crime, you pled guilty... now rot in hell you P.O.S.

Real deal on Pollard --->> http://www.john-loftus.com/pollard_article.asp

Just to make sure that Pollard was blamed, U.S. intelligence sources, several months later, leaked word to the press of the Kalmanovich connection. "A Russian mole has infiltrated the Mossad and is transmitting highly sensitive American intelligence information to the Russians," was the report flashed around the world by United Press International on Dec. 14, 1987. Citing "American intelligence sources," the UPI announced that the "sensitive intelligence material relayed to Israel by Jonathan Pollard had reached the KGB."
But it was all untrue. Every bit of it. Pollard wasnt the serial killer. The Jew didnt do it. It was one of their own WASPsAldrich Ames, a drunken senior CIA official who sold the names of Americas agents to the Russians for cash. Pollard was framed for Amess crime, while Ames kept on drinking and spying for the Soviets for several more years. In fact, Israeli intelligence later suspected that Ames played a direct role in framing Pollard. But no one in America then knew the truth.
As my source in Naval intelligence explained, the list of our secret agents inside Russia had been kept in a special safe in a special room with a special "blue stripe" clearance needed for access. When I was a lawyer in the Justice Department and would be sent over to the CIA to do research, I was permitted to use only a blue-striped, CIA-issue legal pad for note-taking. Nothing with a blue stripe could leave the building without being scrutinized by CIA security.
But Jonathan Pollard didnt have "blue stripe" clearance, according to intelligence sources I spoke with. That was the bombshell that would clear him of any possible connection to the deaths of our Russian agents.
Just to make sure, I checked it out, even visiting Pollard in prison to confirm it. Sure enough, there is no way on earth Jonathan Pollard could have entered the file room, let alone the safe where the list was kept.
Our genuine enemies, as we now "see cleary" are the same as White Russia's perennial enemy: muslim tyrannts and the madrassas of hate.
Thank you... please drive through.

Back on the J. Pollard thing... how is putting a traitor where he belongs a slur.
You seem to find nothing wrong with a person that pled guilty to a treasonous act? In Pollard's case the punishment fits the crime... the same punishment should be applied to all traitors.
All traitors from the FBI's Hanson to Pollard to the next one... should be thrown in the garbage.
