I don't wish for such a person to roam free. And here is a very simple and straightforward reason why; such a persons meddling in intelligence affairs for $$ could unintentionally (or intentionally) start a war by selling the right info to the wrong people, or the wrong info to the right people. Spies operating at his level and methods are very dangerous at an international level and should in my opinion be one of the very very few crimes punishable by judicially executing the convicted by hanging. As to those americans wishing for his release, I'll quote Hesiod to summarize. "Make straight your crooked ways, O bribe devouring lords, that draw you from that nest of judicial vipers, for no man's eye may guess where next the bolt of zeus falls!" In hesiods time lightning striking a person and killing them was seen as a bolt of zeus, and was theologically believed to only happen to people of the extreme worst kind of moral quality. “Who are you that goeth about kicking the heads of the sinners here entombed in ice and darkness with thy fleshy foot, and speaking a language I recognize, as well?” – Bocca Degli Abbati, Dante’s Divine Comedy, 9th circle region

Israel has had socialised medicine from the Get Go. No other Country in the world has our system or has adopted it as it wastes so much money.

His aim in getting a US security clearance was to pursue his business plan to steal and sell classified information to any, rpt, any taker. An Israeli intel rep unfortunately took the bait and demonstrated that Israel, who benefits from US largesse and protection, is not always a steady US ally. No need to release Pollard, who, if he were free, would be yukking it up and living on a pension in Israel, a pension subsidized by the US taxpayer because of US largesse...$3 billion a yr...in aid to Israel. Obama has demonstrated he has Israel's back without succumbing to the chutzpah of those who clamor for pollard's release. Pollard is in good hands...a country club US prison with kosher menu and health and exercise opportunities. Pollard would have sold Israel’s secrets if he had had access to them.

He shopped his pilfered classified take to whomever he thought would pay, even to potential enemies of Israel. He stole classified information that had had nothing to do with Israel's security.
