Look, you are identifying a problem with credibility generally. But for the purposes of this discussion, can you say, specifically, why you are rejecting Pollard’s boss’ statement? He was in charge of Naval Intelligence at the time of Pollard’s crimes while working there. Why, exactly, are you rejecting his public statement, issued jointly with three other former directors of Naval Intelligence, in favor of those farther removed from knowledge of Pollard and away from the site of Pollard’s crimes?
As I said, the “government narrative” is usually backed by LIARS, as we’ve amply seen in the past. The people who won’t lie for the government are not asked to make these kinds of statements.
And since it’s clear that they are LYING from those who have been there in the government and are now able to speak out, and they have chosen to speak out to right a wrong, we don’t have to take the word of LIARS IN GOVERNMENT, since we have the testimony of the others who have told us differently.
It’s also amply clear, without any “inside information” that Pollard’s time-served is GROSSLY DISPROPORTIONATE compared to others who have been convicted and jailed, in similar circumstances.
The judgement on my part (and others who speak out) is that some of these people are nothing more than GOVERNMENT-PAID LIARS.
