As the calls for clemency for Jonathan Pollard continue to intensify, Henry A. Kissinger, an elder statesman, well-respected diplomat, and experienced member of the United States intelligence community, has become the latest American governmental leader to issue a public call for Pollard’s release. Pollard has spent more than 25 years languishing in a federal prison for passing classified information to Israel, an ally of the United States.
Kissinger, who served as United States Secretary of State and National Security Advisor under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, sent a letter to President Obama requesting that he commute Pollard’s sentence to time served (the full text of the letter appears below and a copy is attached).
Like former Congressman Lee Hamilton, who also recently called on the President to grant clemency to Jonathan Pollard, Kissinger has served as a member of the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, which is a nonpartisan and independent body of the Intelligence Community that has full access to the complete range of intelligence-related information. Kissinger was a member of the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board at the time of Pollard’s sentencing.

If Kissinger is really one speaking for the Bilderbergers' then Obama is being given his orders. Predictions on when Pollard is released? One week? Two?
Actually, I’ve been saying the Obama owes Madoff an apology and a job over at Treasury.
Pollard should have been shot, as ALL spies should be.
I’ll vote for “whenever the next big dominating news event happens”.
Will Geithner teach Madoff how to use Turbo-Tax?
He did it for money. They always say he passed it on to an ally. It does not matter. Another ******** govt worker who takes a job where you are required to keep secrets and he gave em up. Don’t take the job if you cannot do what is required.
Throw Kissinger in jail
Throw Kissinger in jail
Obama pardon someone who helped Israel?
It is to laugh...
Throw Kissinger in jail
Pollard can rot, Henry.
exactly. It’s not Pollard’s choice who gets our nation’s classified info.
Colonel, USAFR
The hell with Pollard. He was a traitor and traitors should be shot.
What did Israel do with the intelligence...sell it to the Chinese?
A few quotes from Henry K back in the day:
“The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer”… “There cannot be a crisis next week. My schedule is already full.”...”Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac”…“The nice thing about being a celebrity is that when you bore people, they think it’s their fault”.
The betrayer of South Vietnam and Taiwan can burn in hell along with that traitor Pollard.
Pollard should get a week in the snake pit for asking.
I free Jon Pollard every morning. And not only do I not work for the Bureau of Prisons, I’ve never been to North Carolina in my life.
I would’ve settled for hanging.
It all comes to the same thing.
No, to the Russians.
Only after they hang Bradley Manning for espionage.
The less said about the traitor Pollard, the better for Israel.
