"I am not an attorney. However, I have never heard of any law against "passing classified documents to an ally" that makes any distinction between such an action and espionage, especially any law that mandates a lesser sentence for such activity. I would appreciate a reference if you have one."

How about you responding to Irene Adler's Post #12???

I believe Pollard pled to one count of espionage. Clearly than can result in a life sentence, since that's what Pollard got.
