Enough is enough! How can anybody compare passing on classified information with actually murdering people? Yet the US keeps on demanding that Israel release convicted murderers. Shalit is right, releasing Pollard would be a gesture of friendship towards Israel.

The only way Pollard is going to be released if Obama needs to hide a really big scandal

[Natufian]

Traitors should leave their jails in a pine box.

0’ is more interested in releasing the Blind Sheik... and would have, had not a few Navy Seals got in the way. May they and the others rest in peace.

Obama’s administration is wrong to pressure Israel to release terrorists, but it doesn’t mean that it’s suddenly okay now to release Pollard.

Pollard committed treason again the United States of America, and got the sentence he deserved.

[TurkeyLurkey]

IMO the Israelis have made a big fat mistake in releasing those murderers; they should have executed them. I don’t agree that Pollard should be released. If he were released, it sure wouldn’t be because of friendship with Israel.

[FredZarguna]

The argument is silly.

Neither should have been released, and two wrongs don't make a right.

The correct conversation is: "you wouldn't release Pollard for treason against the United States for just reasons, and for the same reasons we won't release people engaged in terrorism against us."

[ozzymandus]

He should have been executed, like all traitors. Giving Israel billions of dollars every year is enough of a “gesture of friendship”.

[marron]

Pollard is just a small-time traitor. He never sat in the White House and he doesn’t have half a billion dollars in the bank.
