There was discussion of pardoning Pollard during Clinton
and the repukes such as Joe Degeneva were screaming, trashing Clinton just because the subject was being discussed

I wonder what the right wing echo chamber will do about this:

Pollard's wife on swap: Bush wanted to free him by last week

1. To be honest, it wouldn't bother me if Bush freed him
After all the thousands of deaths Bush has caused, to release a guy who has served 20 years in solitary seems kind of benign. Let him go to Israel.

2. It would bother me
Pollard is a traitor pure and simple. In addition, if the story is even true, Pollard has NOTHING to do with the Israelli/Palestinian issue

Pollard DOES NOT DESERVE CLEMENCY

3. We have executed people for doing the same. If Pollard walks,
Americans who have sacrificed their children to the invasion of Iraq should take to the streets and no Republican should be elected to office again.

We have intel men and women who put their life on the line to keep secrets. Who knows who Israel would sell or give the information to to accomplish their ends? They gave a lot of shit to S. Africa and probably to supporters of S. Africa at the time.
