Arlene Peck: "Might they [the Hollywood left] possibly want to film a television show about the disgraceful imprisonment of Johnathon Pollard?

You're right Arlene -- mere "imprisonment" is disgraceful. Pollard ought to have been executed as a spy against the United States of America, and thus a TRAITOR...

There is NO such thing as "dual citizenship."

[oldironsides]

Check out Rham Emmanuel the new congressman from Ill. He was a duel citizen while working for the Clinton whitehouse and now sits in congress. Did he reject his duel
citizenship for his Democrat seat? Did he really serve in the Israeli Army? How close id he to the Israeli flagpole?

"Check out Rham Emmanuel the new congressman from Ill..."

He's another mole.

[Sparta]

Pollard shouldn't be in prison, he should be swinging from an oak tree by his neck.

This one really brought out the Hitler crowd. Pollard was never charged with espionage or treason--just passing classified documents to an ally. This charge usually results in sentances from no jail time to three years maximum. Because Pollard is a Jew who exposed US Government perfidity in supplying Saddam Hussein with chemical weapons--he is the object of Nazi-like hatred.

I wonder when the mental institutions will be opening their doors and letting the loonies roam free.

It's already been done. I literally thought that this article would be about "mainstreaming" the mentally ill. During the 1960s, liberal activists sued the State of California for retaining certain classes of the mentally ill in institutions. A judge (I don't recall if it was State or Federal) ordered them released and then Governor Reagan had to do it. The left then blamed him mercilessly for "throwing them out of the institutions and onto the street" to this day.

That class of people is the primary source of the homeless problem today.

I used to tell them that they had to be products of mixed marriages.

Ok, now that's a damned racist statement.

[Stavka2]

What, are you mad? How dare you expose where Saddam got his WMD???? Why that might cause someone to review the government's crooked dealings of convinience...that it now wants the public to pay for in blood and treasure to fix.

I knew a sergeant who had dual citizenship with England and the US, served in the Royal Hussairs and then at Fulda Gap with 3rd Infantry, no one had a problem with him being in the US army....

"Pollard was never charged with espionage or treason--just passing classified documents to an ally. This charge usually results in sentances from no jail time to three years maximum."

I am not an attorney. However, I have never heard of any law against "passing classified documents to an ally" that makes any distinction between such an action and espionage, especially any law that mandates a lesser sentence for such activity. I would appreciate a reference if you have one.

[JeeperFreeper]

And the reason that many on the left don't want to open the asylums anymore than they have is the liberals don't want the inmates to compete with them for party and elected positions.

"I knew a sergeant who had dual citizenship with England and the US, served in the Royal Hussairs and then at Fulda Gap with 3rd Infantry, no one had a problem with him being in the US army...."

One the most valued members of my Company up on the gap in '56/'57 , and back in Munich, was an east german DP, who really knew his way around the ex-reich.

This one really brought out the Hitler crowd. Pollard was never charged with espionage or treason--just passing classified documents to an ally.

Are you for real? The classified documents Pollard obtained were alledgedly passed on to the Soviets in a deal made with Israel. Even Klinton wouldn't pardon him after many high ranking members of the CIA threatened to resign if he did. This article is trying to soft pedal the enormous damage done by Pollard's treason, hell, as far as I am concerned he should count himself lucky that he didn't receive the death penalty which he so richly deserved.

[Ronin]

Bingo!

Pollard is a two-bit, conniving, money-hungry TRAITOR who was willing to sell anything he could steal to anyone who would buy.

I support Israel 90 percent of the time but whenever they bring up Pollard I tune them out just as fast as I hit the remote when Clinton's face appears on the babble-box.

His "return" to Orthodox Judism gets the same amount of sympathy from me as I extend to all the death row inmates who become born-again Christians in an effort to escape the needle -- none.

He did it. He got caught. He is in jail, going to stay in jail and that is END of STORY.

For anyone who doesn't like it, I suggest a sympathy chit and a trip to the weep locker.

"I knew a sergeant who had dual citizenship with England and the US, served in the Royal Hussairs and then at Fulda Gap with 3rd Infantry, no one had a problem with him being in the US army...."

Sarge was a rare exception to every rule only because of the longtime unified Anglo-US relationship...

BTW, we've got to think long and hard about the last time an Englishman on behalf of England, was apprehended for spying on the U.S.

[F16Fighter]

"This one really brought out the Hitler crowd. Pollard was never charged with espionage or treason--just passing classified documents to an ally."

IF the US had intended to "pass along" the said classified information, they would have done so themselves instead of having crud like Pollard smuggle it out like a rat in the dark of night.

Admit it. You and Pollard think alike -- your alliance and patriotism lies outside America.

[DBtoo]

It sounds like Israel has their own version of the "Free Mumia" crowd. In their case though it's the murdering terrorists they have sympathy for. I'll never understand that mindset.

[DBtoo]

The same thing happened in Texas in the late 80s. The oil bust occured and the state was having money problems, so they opened up the mental institution in Austin and let the people out. Shortly afterwards there was a noticeable increase of homeless people in Houston where I lived at the time.
