JERUSALEM, Jan. 16 (UPI) -- Israel's high court ruled Monday against convicted spy Jonathan Pollard's request to be deemed a prisoner of Zion and repatriated from the United States.

Pollard, a civilian U.S. Naval intelligence analyst pleaded guilty to espionage on June 4, 1986, and received a life sentence and a recommendation that he never be paroled.

He was granted Israeli citizenship in 1996 after Israel recognized his status as a spy and pledged to fund his legal expenses, the Jerusalem Post reported.

However, in court the government argued that Pollard cannot be granted the status because Zionist organizations and activities are not banned under U.S. law.

Pollard's wife, Esther, told Army Radio she found it "unbelievable" that Israel would work to release killers in other countries but let Pollard stay in prison.

The United States of America has three goals in its foreign affairs.

1)Defend the US from foreign enemies.

2)Open new markets, and protect existing ones so that the US economy can continue to grow and prosper.

3)Premote represntative government and human rights around the world.

This is the best one yet! I love number two the best, we are running a 700 billion trade deficit and you maintain that one of our goals is to protect existing markets.
