"Pollard compromised agents on the ground, some of whom were killed"

Pollard was set up and took the rap for Aldrich Ames's betrayal.

Pollard had no access to info regarding "agents". He was an electronic intel analyst.

Um, sure, this was the verdict the jury returned: we find the defendant--or, rather, we find that the defendant needs to be found guilty in lieu of someone else.

Pollard needs to remain in prison forever.
