The differnce between good and bad is subject to ideology.

Pollards actions exposed US spies in the eastern bloc that were there to undermine Soviet power. Under the soviets, that could be considered terrorism post 9/11.

I knew you'd try to correllate my comments with justifying terrorism, such juvenile tactics.

"Pollards actions exposed US spies in the eastern bloc that were there to undermine Soviet power. Under the soviets, that could be considered terrorism post 9/11."

Not even close. Spy's are legitimate military targets. Exposing them, while certainly bad for the US, is part of a counter spy's job. Pollard killed absolutely NO innocent civilians.

"I knew you'd try to correlate my comments with justifying terrorism, such juvenile tactics."

If you equate the killing of innocent civilians as the PA does with the legitimate killing of terrorists and military targets as western countries do, then of course you are trying to justify terrorism. Why else would you try such a pathetic ploy? That tactic may work over at DU but it doesn't fly here. You might as well give it up.

lol, please.... you are saying you'd allow an enemy of the state to be alive and help our rivals?

Countless enemies of the state are alive and helping our rivals. Many live and work in the US. Whether they are punished or not depends on what they do.

If they kill innocent people like cowardly terrorists, then of course they will be executed.

If they attack a US military target, they will be captured and held until hostilities are over, as is the case of those in Guantanamo Bay.

If they recruit terrorists or advocate terrorism they will, hopefully, be deported, and if they simply equate the terroristic PA authority with the legitimate actions of western governments as you do, they will be tolerated.

We are not murderous thugs who execute people simply because they are our enemies. That is how the PA operates.
