Hi Jack, The Sabbath is over and I am back on line. I did not accuse the U.S. Government of anti-semitism. I accused one man, Casper Weinberger of exerting undue influence on what is supposed to be an INDEPENDENT judiciary system. A deal was struck for Pollard to plead guilty and get a specific determinate sentence. Enter, Casper Weinberger representing the Executive branch of the government (as well as the Saudi oil cartel), with a secret memorandum to Judge Aubrey Robinson and presto, the deal does a vanishing act and Pollard is given a life sentence. And no one is ever allowed to see what was in that secret memorandum because it is classified information. For all we know, it could have been a check from Bechtel or the Saudi government payable to the judge for 1 million dollars. Why would Pollard have pleaded guilty in the first place if he was going to get a life sentence anyhow ? He would have nothing to lose by going to trial. A previous poster mentioned the fact that an individual who spied for Iraq during the first Gulf War got only 19 years. Pollard has already served 20 years of a life sentence. Is that the equal justice under the law as mandated by our Constitution ? And should the fact that I am questioning the fairness of the sentencing proceedings in this case (which I have every right to do as an American citizen), bring my own loyalty to our USA into question simply because Pollard & I both happen to be Jewish ?
