Jonathan Pollard was not convicted of treason. He spied for Israel and he has served enough time the life sentence was not the recommendation of the prosecutors. Pollard spied at a time when James Baker was our secretary of state under Ronald Reagan. It just amazes me the mob mentality here on FR.
I like the fact that Gingrich answers to tough questions as this and illegal immigration. I am not going to ignore the fact the government failed our responsibility to both cases

Sir, you get it with respect to Pollard. However, I do not concur with Newt on the softening of our stance on illegal immigration. The difference? We have actually enforced the law in Pollard’s case (thus far, without mercy), while Newt is calling for mercy for the illegals, when... the law was never brought to bear in the first place.
Respectfully agreeing to disagree: The two situations are apple and oranges. Nonetheless, thank you for speaking up with moral insight regarding Pollard.
