I'm somewhat confused as the Pollard I know of was caught, convicted and sentenced long before the Gulf War but the one you're writing about seems to have been active subsequent to the Gulf War. It seems as well that you're using as an excuse the same excuse the media used on Clinton... "everybody does it so what's the harm". The fact is, Pollard is not an Israeli citizen, he is an American. He swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic. He betrayed that oath and he betrayed his nation. Whether or not information he stole made it to the Soviet Union is irrelevant - Pollard turned against his nation which had placed him in a position of trust. And he betrayed America not for ideology, but for money. Pollard is not being treated any worse than any other American who became a traitor.
