Let Pollard Go...

Yeah. Good idea. Let him go swing from a rope.

[Taylor42]

The only Pollard deserves is a bullet. Treason is a capital offense, no exceptions.

[Taylor42]

oooppss!

The only thing...
(so much for my proofreading skills)

[Doctor Stochastic]

It's really a no go situation.

[IM2Phat4U]

ditto

[Rebelcajun]

LET POLLARD ROT. SPY IS SPY, TRAITOR IS TRAITOR. HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS ACTIONS...LET HIM BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

[dead]

Oh damn! I was gonna say that.

Now all that's left is "go take a long walk off a short pier", and I don't want to say that cause it's lame.

[Diverdogz]

NEVER let him go. Now, more than ever, we see the need of loyalty to one's country. He betrayed the USA in a sensitive position working for the Navy. The only way to discourage people like him from doing that kind of crime is to deal with them very harshly. I was very afraid Clinton would let him go - and I'll be bitterly disappointed if the Bush administration lets him out.

Legal luminaries, such as Alan Dershowitz

The writer lost all credibility with that line.

LOL. If there is one thing to which you can flip your calender pages, it is the monthly commentary by the free pollard lobby.

allies occasionally spy on each other

Pollard was not an ally, he was a member of the U.S. Navy.
He signed and swore an oath to protect the classified material
to which he was allowed access.
He took the decision to violate that oath and became a traitor to his country.
He should have been executed.

[Rodney King]

He should be executed. He sold info related to tracking our trident submarines to our "allies" Israel, who would have no use for such information whatsoever except to trade it with the Russians.

Prove the Treason. To what enemy did Pollard give secrets?

[VOA]

The only Pollard deserves is a bullet. Treason is a capital offense, no exceptions.

I only had time to scan the highlights of the article.
If it was in the article, I missed any mention of Pollard's wife involvement and
her giving away some of the stolen material to Chinese interests in hopes of
promoting herself professionally.
(At least that's what I recall from reading other sources.)

Pollard (and his wife) were lucky the USA cut them such a generous deal. Both of them
got to live, even if one (hopefully) won't see the outer walls of prison.
(OK, when he's maybe hit 70 or has has a terminal disease...then even I might
think about a bit of leniency.)

[wideawake]

Pollard deserved execution. His life was magnanimously spared.

He should quit while he's ahead.

[hsszionist]

A sticky mess this one, consistancy of punishment should lead to release and expulsion. Perhaps a trade, Burak for Pollard. Barak certainly showed his interest in supporting the U.S. far exceded his loyality to Israel.

[bvw]

People are throwing the Treason word around mighty carelessly.

" Legal luminaries, such as Alan Dershowitz and Irwin Cotler"

If these guys complete Pollard's sentence for him........
