"I believe that in addition to the arguments based on the excessive
length of the sentence, I think, the fact that Mr. Pollard has served
for so long, clearly the deterrent effect is there; we are not asking
that he be pardoned; we are not condoning his crime,” the Massachusetts
legislator said in his short speech.via israelnationalnews.com
The only crime Pollard committed was defending his country. Barney Frank is playing politics. Not only should Pollard be pardoned, he should be celebrated as a hero. The information he was trying to get from the state dept was information on Hussein's chemical arsenal... that the U.S. enabled. The Democrats should be ashamed of themselves... so should the Republicans though.
