The fact that even an unprincipled, mentally dysfunctional sh!t like Bill Clinton wouldn't grant a pardon to Pollard ought to tell you something.
exactly my point
Yeah, it tells me there was nothing in it for him.
what i read in the press at the time was that when this was brought up there was widespread and vehement objection from pretty much the entire intelligence community. i would not be surprised if tenet had threatened to resign, etc., just to avoid this happening. Not that I have any idea what tenet's values are but if clinton didn't do it, he had a pragamtic, not moral, reason.
