Loftus has been a liberal activist for decades if not his adult life.

Loftus has made some big errors in some of his claims.

The most recent appears to be his bold claims that Saddam, his sons and most of Saddam's power clique were killed on the first night we dropped the bunker buster and followed up with the cruise missiles. That may have been as off base as his claims re Pollard are.

He has no idea what Pollard exposed this nation to. Loftus had no need to know and would have been exposed to what Pollard knew and gave to the Israelis.

It is also a specious argument that Pollard only spied for allies. Many Americans with high clearances were told to never divulge what they knew to spouses, parents or siblings for as long as we live. That is inspite of those close relatives being vetted as well as those cleared.

I am very strong supporter of Israel and its desire to survive as a nation. I don't support Israel nor its spy, Pollard in this case.

Pollard was a traitor and was found guilty of treason and the unauthorized release of critical secrets. He should have gotten the death penalty.

Not only were we told not to divulge, but we signed an oath not to.
You forgot to mention the life time travel restriction, and publication restriction.
