 The wait is over. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/29/world/middleeast/jonathan-pollard-spy-for-israel-to-be-released-on-parole-in-november.html http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/u-s-grants-parole-israeli-spy-jonathan-pollard-n399836 From the NBC article: >The board's decision requires Pollard to remain in the U.S. for five years after his release, and his lawyers said they had found housing and employment for him in New York. But they called on President Obama to allow him to leave prison early and move to Israel immediately. >"We respectfully urge the President to exercise his clemency power in this manner." Your thoughts?

Joe Biden also famously opposed releasing Pollard, though most of the links I could find with a quick "joe biden jonathan pollard" Google search were from the Israeli press.

Rollofthedice posted:Can someone give/link me some details about Pollard? He was before my time and google's just telling me "he gave info to Israel and Netanyahu likes him". That's pretty much it. Wikipedia is as good a source as any for the basics.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:It's not even just "caught spying on America", it's doing so and being so brazenly proud of it as to act like we're the assholes for daring to lock up one of our citizens for committing one of the most legitimately serious felonies on the books. It's not a crime when Israel does it.
