Guest Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Jailed Spy Jonathan Pollard: Kill Hamas Prisoners Former U.S. intelligence analyst Jonathan Pollard, who has spent the last 25 years in prison for spying for Israel, is outraged that Israel would consider releasing 980 Palestinian prisoners in return for one kidnapped soldier. Speaking to two Israeli visitors at the Butner Federal Correction Complex in North Carolina, Pollard said he wanted to see the return of Gilad Schalit, who was kidnapped by Palestinian militants in a cross-border raid in June 2006. But one visitor said the thought of terrorists being released “boiled him with anger,” the Jerusalem Post reported. “Instead, [israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu should take the list of prisoners Hamas requested and kill one of them every day until they release Gilad from prison,” Pollard said. “He should not free terrorists, no matter what.” Pollard said he would not want any terrorists released even in a deal that would lead to his own release from prison. He opposed a rumored deal that would free Pollard and Palestinian militant leader Marwan Barghouti, a convicted murderer imprisoned in Israel. “Even after 25 years in prison, Jonathan is not ready for terrorists to be released from jail in exchange for him,” visitor Moshe Feiglin told the Post. The Insider Report disclosed in June that Vice Admiral Mike McConnell, when he was director of National Intelligence, told a Senate committee the previous year: "We are unequivocally opposed to leniency for Mr. Pollard... "Clemency for Pollard will undermine U.S. security practices and complicate U.S. counterintelligence programs." Pollard, 55, is serving a life sentence but can be paroled after 30 years if he has a clean record in prison. The earliest he can be freed is November 2015.

Members phkrause Posted December 8, 2009 Members Share Posted December 8, 2009 Very interesting Richard. What I see is that if the Israeli's were to do what he says, the Palestinians would murder the soldier right after the Israeli's killed the Palestinian guy. I'm not sure that what he says makes any sense! pk Quote phkrause Obstinacy is a barrier to all improvement. - ChL 60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
