...to set Pollard free is a meritorious and gracious act, itself alone worthy of my vote.

Meritorious and gracisous? Would that hold true for every convicted, spying scumbag who sells our national secrets, or is Pollard the only traitor you support?

Pollard's chump change. And the man has already served far more time, and harder time than any comparable case of spying for an ally. Which, young lady, is NOT treason.

See the US Constituion:

Section 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.

Israel is an ally -- one of our closest allies.

As ever and always hate for Jews blinds a certain percentage. Pollard was chump change. There were are far bigger and more committed spies -- who DO INDEED work for those who would destroy us.

Are you in the same damnably blindered camp of those in our government who condemned the Israeli raid of the Iraq reactor?
