Jack,
      For the record, Pollard was not working for the Mosad.

He was working for himself and took it upon himself to provide the classified information directly to the Israeli Embassy. He felt that this was information that Israel, an allie of the United States should have had and was being witheld.

Was he wrong? Absolutely yes.

Should he have been punished? Absolutely yes.

Was a life sentence in solitary confinement, after the government reneged on a guity plea, a fair punishment? In light of the fact that people who spied for the Soviet Union, an enemy of the USA at that time, were released from prison after serving their sentences,
a resounding NO.

I know that Joe Lieberman disagrees with me on this and you do too.
So Jack, you are in good company on this one.
