Pollard deserves death, as does every miserable excuse of a spy, like the Cuban-American woman caught last week.
Try to justify it all you want, but American interests are and should be the first concern of every American. Americans should not be making excuses for the intrigues against America of foreign states.
That is pathetic, no matter who the foreign state might be. Israel is nothing special in this regard.
"The Liberty was in international waters. Israel knew who she was and what flag she flew."
Just like the Israeli's knew where all its ground units were at all times? I suppose that the IAF purposely bombed and strafed a company that a cousin of mine led against the Egyptians near Port Said?
What part of "Fog of War" don't you understand? Or is it that you don't care to understand?
As for the Flag, I'm sure that the next time you are flying at 500 knots at 500 feat over a ship, you will be able to see the flag on its staff?
"Pollard deserves death, as does every miserable excuse of a spy, like the Cuban-American woman caught last week."
I break with some of my friends on this issue. Pollard was a spy and should rot in jail.
"Try to justify it all you want, but American interests are and should be the first concern of every American. Americans should not be making excuses for the intrigues against America of foreign states. "
My point is that there was not conspiracy. There was a mistake of war. If anyone conspired it was the CIA in sending a ship into a war zone, after being warned by the Israelis and US Navy, and then failing to tell anyone of its mistake.
"That is pathetic, no matter who the foreign state might be. Israel is nothing special in this regard."
You seem to have a special hatred for it. Why is this?
