It's not "strange" verbiage. I don't mince words. You're shameless in your support of a convicted spy who betrayed the U.S. The conduct is worthy of shame, and yet you apparently don't care.

I'm an American, and I don't take kindly to those who sell my country down the river...or to those who defend those who sell my country down the river. I don't care who it is, I don't care how many people didn't die, I don't care how "harmless" some people seem to believe it is.

I'm confident that most Americans and most FReepers see it my way rather than your way. Which is why I always like to remind St. Pollard's accolytes of a few certain facts. Pollard will die in his U.S. prison cell because the American people would flay alive any U.S. President who did anything to change that outcome. Even Clinton knew better than to cross that line, as tempting as it may have been for him at the time. You don't have to like it. But if you don't realize that that's the way it's going to be, you're setting yourself up for disappointment.

It is.

You're shameless in your support of a convicted spy who betrayed the U.S.

And here's why: an American might be shameless if he supported spying against the US (given that all the facts were on the table and all that kind of thing), but a foreign government? What you're in effect demanding is that the Israeli government live by American interest. That is not the case, regardless the fact that many people seem to have some notion that the US actually owns Israel. Israel is another state, looking out for its own interests.

Pollard is no longer a threat to us. Those who are still successfully providing sensitive information to our enemies, whether in the FBI, CIA military or elected offices, most certainly still are.
