I don't understand.
Oh. it's all political??
Oh, now I understand.
The US withholds classified information from many of its allies. Our government withholds information from its own citizens as well. It’s necessary to keep some things confidential, secret, or top secret. It’s not because we don’t consider our allies trustworthy, or our own citizens. It’s because that’s how you keep a secret. Ya don’t tell everyone.
Pollard is in prison because they don’t execute spies anymore. That’s why he’s alive and in prison.
The irony is that Pollard’s call to be released is solely on his being Jewish!
He deserves to rot right where he is.
Under this current Muslim loving Regime? Keep dreaming.
Pollard is in jail because he is a D I C K....and a traitor...
What is this? Some precedent to release him and get a quid pro quo prisoner in return?
Pollard's theft caused the expenditures of hundred of thousands of technical man hours by the US to “compensate” for the losses ( and millions of dollars also). A valuable US resource was compromised.
The un Christian view is that he should rot in jail until the second coming.

” stressed that the US doesn’t need to spy on Israel. “
LOL. What a putz.
I’m a big supporter of Israel.
But Israel is one of our greatest intelligence threats. They not only put lots of effort spying on us, but they are very good at it.
We not only need to spy on Israel, it is an imperative.
Here’s one example: in the 1973 war, when Israel was nearly overrun by their neighbors - our spying and surveillance of Israel quite likely resulted in their belligerent neighbors NOT being nuked.
I don’t blame Israel for wanting Pollard released - but to pretend it’s for anything but their own intelligence reasons (abandoning a spy that’s been caught has a depressing effect on recruitment) is ludicrous.
It’s disingenuous to say it’s because he’s Jewish, and they know it. But it’s all they have because he was busted hard, and his impact was quantifiable in lives lost. So they try to engender racial guilt, which is their best shot at getting him released. I hope it doesn’t work.
Ok Woolsey, are you getting paid to have this opinion? Full disclosure would first and foremost be in order before you declare your country - the BEST country in the world to be a Jew, and practice Judaism (even better than Israel) - to be antisemitic, prove you aren’t conflicted. Given the veracity of our intelligence apparatus, I won’t believe him anyway, but still, he should at least have to courtesy to lie to us about being objective before asking us to release a notorious spy like Pollard.

The race card is ugly no matter who plays it.
Now if we could only lock up all mossad agents and their supporters worldwide, then we’d get somewhere.
Every time someone brings up Pollard, they may as well be an agent for Iran.
Enough already. He knew the risks. He can die a hero in prison.
Oliver North, in his books—relates how the very core culture of the US State Department (and this was in the ‘80s before the “anti-Zionist” movement became vogue on America’s campuses) is virulently anti-Semitic.
You can bet Hillary was a big part of that too—and we know where Mr. Obama-and-friends stand in the Arab-Israeli conflict....
