Here’s a “short list” of some people saying that the sentence is disproportionate for the crime and he should be released.
They all say - “Now is the time to free Jonathan Pollard.”
Lawrence J Korb
Former US Assistant Secretary of State
Senator Allen K Simpson
Co-chair of the Presidents Economic Commission
Senator Dennis DeConcini
Former Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee
Bernard W Nussbaum
Former White House Council
Michael B Muckasey
Former US Attorney General
George P Shultz
Former US Secretary of State
Henry A Kissinger
Former US Secretary of State
R James Woolsey
Former CIA Director
That’s just the short list. The long list gets a heck of a lot longer.
Incorrect. Most of that bunch agreed with the original sentence and are just getting soft in their old age.
After Pollard violated his plea agreement and attempted to run a PR campaign to get himself clemency....he was doomed.
He also stopped cooperating with the government, violating his plea deal.
He practically guaranteed his life sentence.
