And the USSR.
Pollard has served about double the max sentence guidlines.
Also, he had a plea agreement that the USA government totally
violated.
Also, as an Ally, Israel was supposed to get a good portion
of the material Pollard leaked, just because it was info
that the USA agreed Israel was supposed to receive as a heads up to potential plots against Israel that our intelligence
agencies agreed to share.
For its part over the years Israel has given us lots of info
on Soviet weapons systems weaknesses. Israel has purchased
over 30 billion dollars of US weapons, and made suggestions
on how to make them better. And Israel has just signed
agreement to let us manufacture Iron Dome in the USA.
Israels spy and army intel agencies have been sharing info
on terrorists and communists, for decades.
Good friends are hard to find. And letting one sick
spy who spied decades ago served more than his legal sentence, seems ripe for humane release to our best ally
in the war against Islamic Terrorists.
