Secretary of State John Kerry will travel to the Middle East in the first week of the new year amid a flurry of reports in the Israeli press that he has said he would consider freeing convicted spy Jonathan Pollard.

Israel's Channel 10 TV station first reported Friday that Kerry offered to free Pollard as part of an exchange for the release of a fourth group of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails as peace talks resume between the two sides. The third of four groups is scheduled to be released Monday, the Jerusalem Post reported.

So you're saying that if Pollard had been turned down for parole in 1996, he probably wouldn't have been eligible to seek parole again or executive clemency until 2011?

How's that working out for him?

“Palestine gets it’s terrorists back, Israel gets it’s spy back. What does the US get?”

Sounds similar to the deal the 76ers got when they traded for Andrew Bynum in that 3-way trade. Maybe he should apply for that job?
