What nobody seems to even claim is that he did not in fact sell out our intelligence secrets to a foreign country. And the facts that he is Jewish or that Israel is an ally largely are immaterial.
If Pollard had robbed a bank and he unintentionally killed one of his hostages, he still would be responsible for that death, the bank robbery, and for the use of a firearm in the commission of his crime.
Actions do have consequences, and the death of our humint assets within the Soviet Union and the resultant long-term intelligence blackout warrants far more than he has received, IMO.
Any pro-Pollard protestations beyond these realities are specious at best......
What you are missing is that the point of the whole article is that the assertion "the result of the 'false flag' mistake was mass murder" is false. The mass murder had nothing to do with Pollard or any "false flag" in Israel but with Aldrich Ames.
If Pollard is not guilty of that particular result, then he is not guilty of it. His crime was spying for a friendly country and he should have received the same punishment as other spies for friendly countries.
So if Pollard's sentence was based on damage perpetrated by someone else, where is the justice?
But that is exactly what the article is alleging, that the loss of those Humint assets had nothing to do with Pollard, directly or indirectly, rather with Ames and Hannsen.
