Just for the record, Pollard has served *far* more time than in any comparable case. He spied for an ally, not an enemy. That makes this not Treason. The Consitution is specific in defining Treason -- it can only be charged for those who spy for an enemy.

To the irrational, the record doesn't matter.

I was not aware that the USSR was one of out allys.

"He spied for an ally, not an enemy."

That "ally" (we do not have a formal treaty of alliance with Israel) proceeded to pass that information to the USSR, which was an enemy. Real allies don't do that. And Pollard, by virtue of his position and duties, knew damn well that what he sent to Tel Aviv eventually ended up in Moscow.
