1. Pollard sold out this country for money.

F*** him. And F*** the Israelis who recruited and paid him too.

[Poll_Blind]

8. Not only are you wrong, you're extremely abusive to a DUer with no reason.

This is detailed account of his treachery, including his cowardly Israeli paymasters:

32. So he gets out because his paymasters were cowards? Nope. He just plain gets to serve his time .....

like all traitors should, pansy paymasters or not.

[marble falls]

2. He does not get out early. If he really did what he did on pinciple then he understands this.

[USMCMustang]

7. He Did It On Principle

The principle that he turned over info that was supposed to have been turned over by agreement. The US (Weinburger hated Jews like some posters here). Remember the Beirut bombing.

[cpwm17]

12. You're full of it

He took some of the most important secrets of the US, some of which were only of value to the Soviets. This is a million times more serious than what Bradley Manning took – the same Bradley Manning that you strongly condemn.

Israel appears to have traded the documents to the Soviets.

[Poll_Blind]

13. "Weinburger hated Jews like some posters here"

Sick. More sick from you.

18. Blind

Is right.

[naaman fletcher]

26. says his side

The government says he turned over far more.

[Nika]

40. This spy should rot and find his natural death in prison.

[grantcart]

42. and he was a cocaine addict on principle too? He was a spy wannabe that was always on the edge of

being thrown out for his bizarre behavior.

You are aware that he has renounced his US citizenship, right?

[marble falls]

31. Then he understands being a prisoner of conscience. We empty Gitmo long before he gets out.

[jberryhill]

9. He should have been executed for what he did

And that has nothing to do with religion. He was paid by a foreign government to provide them with classified information from the inside, and should have been made a harsher example.

[Poll_Blind]

11. I was going to make the statement earlier that the leak of...

...the entire 10-volume RAISIN manual, alone, would generally be cause enough for execution.

Serious question: If you're familiar with the case, etc., do you think that's hyperbole?

that this could be a ruse is to understand who is campaigning for his release.

On edit: Wow, I guess I shouldn't try to type in a poorly lit room!

[MFuentes]

20. And

Who campaigned to keep him locked up? When you have an agreement to provide info, you should provide it. I am not saying the US should kiss Israeli ass, but facts are facts.

[The Second Stone]

10. Walker, Ames, Hansen and Pollard

can all die in prison. It has nothing to do with their religion, it has to do with them being traitors.

[1ProudAtheist]

14. All Of Those Mentioned Combined

Didn't do 1/10th of the damage to this country that The Village Idiot and his National Dick did. When you start talking about people who should die in prison, those 2 and several of their band of coherts are on the absolute top of that list.

I am not trying to in any way deminish the severity of the treasonous acts of those that you mentioned, but merely to point out that while some have been tried and convicted, others have gotten off scott free. There is no sense of equal justice in matters of National disgraces.

Sorry for the rant, but I get all steamed up when I think of those pukes walking the streets of America as if they did nothing illegal, immoral, or just plain wrong.

[MFuentes]

19. True

They should. But the hatred toward Pollard raises questions. You are the only one who brought up the others.

[atreides1]

21. I don't hate any of them

In order to hate a person you have to know that person, I don't know any of these men...nor do I care to. I hate what they did

I think the problem is that in some circles Mr. Pollard is considered to be some kind of hero, and those people are willing to look past his treason because of the fact that he's Jewish and they actually believe that he did what he did purely for nobel reasons!

Pollard was paid to provide information to a foreign government, just like Walker, Hansen, and Ames were...and just like those men he will have to remain in prison for the rest of his life...for the crime he committed.

[kelliekat44]

22. And remain in US prison. Not sent to Israel to server out his term. nt

[cpwm17]

23. Pollard was responsible for one of the worst intelligence loses in US history

for the country that receives more support than any other in US history: Israel. This is consistent with the US/Israel relationship, so Americans have a right to hold Pollard and Israel in contempt.

[alcibiades_mystery]

30. There is a contempt for the request that he be freed

Notice that there is no such ongoing campaign for the others.

That's what you're registering.

[The Second Stone]

43. The topic of the thread is Pollard, the others are extra examples

and nobody needs to bring them up to be fair to Pollard. Pollard is getting the same treatment as other traitor spies. I see a lot of defensiveness on behalf of Pollard in this thread. That is disgusting. Pollard is a traitor who should serve his full term. The people who think Pollard is being pilloried or treated badly in this thread should have their own loyalties examined. Pollard gets no slack from me. He is a traitor.

[secondvariety]

24. Pollard is the worst sort of traitor-

he sold his country out for money.

[TomClash]

25. Some posters need to be reminded of what he did

He SOLD (no principle here) the manual for the entire U.S. electronic surveillance network to Israel. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

[secondwind]

27. NO sympathy.

[alcibiades_mystery]

28. Yes, when you are sentenced to life in prison, you experience your health problems there

Why is this particular news?

Is it because we're still supposed to release this traitor at some point for some reason?

[Comrade_McKenzie]

29. First time I've heard of him... but after reading the Wikipedia article... glad he's locked up. nt

[byeya]

33. I've been told Pollard is the check point for the intelligence community. If a president

allows him to go to Israel, then that president will greatly offend the intelligence agencies.
This was a number of years ago when I was told this twice without even thinking of bringing up the topic(of which I know little) but these two agents, instructors at the time, brought it up on their own.
Apparently the intel agencies were(are?) upset at the near free hand Mossad has been given within our borders.
Who knows? Why would they tell members of a LE refresher class this at break time unless they were exercised about it?

[Poll_Blind]

34. If you take a few min. to read this piece by Seymour Hersh...

...from The New Yorker, you'll have a pretty good idea why the agents brought it up on their own:

http://web.archive.org/web/20070323120858/http://cryptome.sabotage.org/traitor.htm

It's a length but incredibly informative piece on the matter.

And, for after you've read it: How incredibly fucked is that? It's amazing that just one person could fuck over America that hard.

36. He should have been executed

If you believe in the death penalty (which I don't).

[Poll_Blind]

37. Offhandedly I was going to say that, too, last night and for...

...some reason thought it might've been hyperbole. But, really, thinking on it today I think it's pretty open and shut for just the things which the public knows he did. Of course, as Hersh's sources intone, one of the reasons they may have steered things away from execution is that they believe there was more than one mole in the intelligence infrastructure and possibly hoped by keeping him alive they could get him to eventually reveal other traitors.

38. Thanks for that link.

Looking fwd to reading this, I admire Hersh's work.

[byeya]

41. Thank you very much for the link. I've read Sy Hersh for years and believe what

he writes. Had not seen this piece before.

[nadinbrzezinski]

35. For those of you screaming about Manning

Here is the real deal, Jonathan Pollard did actually endanger US Personnel while in the field and National Security.

[Tom Ripley]

39. You couldn't pay me to have sympathy for him (but then again I'm not Pollard)
