What is your opinion of our support for Saddam, should we jail all our agents and diplomats who aided Saddam during his war with Iran? Or those who invented trades with Iran in order to secure the release of our citizens held hostage? Or those who worked with the Afghan mujadeen who later turned to war with us?

Pollard spied for Israel, an ally. If indeed the story you claim is true, which is not, afaik, publicly verifiable then what that ally, Israel, did with that info was similiar in effect and morality to what we did in all the cases mentioned above. We dealt with those who were our mortal enemies directly and indirectly to provide for our safety, and the lives and freedom of our citizens.

Ignoring the irregularities in the case, ignoring the fact that the US used secret evidence and went back on its own plea bargain agreement even Caspar Weinberger has publicly said about the same thing as this Israeli judge. Pollard has served enough time.

Nomatter, no amount of arguing will convice the hardcore here at FR. They want him to serve life in prison or be executed.

Disgusting to see Americans excusing a convicted spy because he was just "spying for our allies."
