Longtime prisoner Jonathan Pollard has just left the Federal Correction Complex in Butner, North Carolina, after over 30 years of being held on espionage charges, his wife Esther announced shortly after 11 a.m. Friday.

Esther and a number of Pollard's closest confidantes were waiting to greet Pollard as he first tasted freedom, at 4:15 a.m. EST; from there they will set off for New York to begin their lives anew.

There in New York, a probation officer will be assigned to Pollard by the US Department of Justice, and will inspect to make sure the 61-year-old stays within all of the limitations placed on him. Any excursion beyond the immediate area of his residence will require the approval of the probation officer.

If Pollard turns up in Israel, the U.S. should give them 24 hours to return him dead or alive, else lose ALL aid until they do so.

They can have that puke back

He's not theirs. Never was.

At the time he committed his crimes, he was an American citizen, granted a security clearance by the US Government. He betrayed these United States.

His 'Israeli citizenship' was granted while he was in prison for spying, and IMO is a sham, a fraud, and a disgrace to Israel.

Too bad. He should have rotted in prison.

That’s worth a thread of its own.

For good measure, toss in the Bush and Kennedy familias.

After trading 5 terrorists for a traitor Pollard seems like small potatoes.

Whatever Bibi agreed to in order to accomplish this, it isn't worth it. Domestically, Zero wanted this only to rationalize the prisoner releases he plans to make over the coming months, BET on it.

I’m all for letting him go, but I want it to be like Arnold did with Sully.

He should not have been released.

He served his 30 years. That’s not a slap on the wrist.

But, he was the worst spy in US history. He left us open to being incinerated.

The sickening thing for me was Bibi’s slobbering over him yesterday.

“But, he was the worst spy in US history.”

Pollard certainly deserved his 30 years, and maybe execution, but Aldrich Ames, Robert Hanssen, and John Walker (to name but three) probably did more damage than Pollard did.
