Spy for money and get caught? Pay the price no matter what the special relation with the USA is. Besides the Israeli government doesn't want him back. He's nothing but trouble and will tell all when the first publisher offers a book deal. Your government would rather him in gaol in America than have to have him die of a "heart attack" in Israel.

day he dies, put him in a body-bag and on a cattle-ship to israel.

but that being said I wish he was not a bargaining chip, if Obama does release him then that will be seen as a favor to Israel, and I imagine it will make Obama less inclined to do "favors" for Israel in the future enough with this guy, if he is released ok, if not who cares

We begin to approach his official parole date, so you can look forward to eventually welcoming your sneak to the Holy Land as a "hero."

George Tenet regards Pollard 'as a man who nearly wrecked the CIA intelligence gathering operations throughout the globe'. Let him rot in prison and let the rats eat his carcass. Israel, our 'friend' and 'ally' should be ashamed that they participated in this travesty and they redefine chutzpah by begging for his release.

Then release him too...
