botany posted:Why? He's clearly not a danger to society, and he can't exactly go back to spying now that everybody knows who he is. Outside of retributive justice, there is no coherent reason that I can see for why he should be locked up. Because the penalty for treason is death, or life in a box. Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen aren't likely to cause much harm either, but neither of them are ever going to see the light of day. This is exacerbated by the fact that the Israeli right holds Pollard in such high regard that for a while they made pilgrimages to his cell, hired him the same lawyer that the guy who killed Rabin used, and accused us of anti-Semitism for keeping him in jail.

CSPAN Caller posted:What are the possible terms of parole for Pollard? Can he be indefinitely banned from travel? IIRC, the terms of his parole are that he can't leave the US for 5 years after his release but many expect Obama to commute his sentence to time served and let him emigrate to Israel where he can hang out getting handjobs from every right-wing shitbag and be thrown a ticker-tape parade before settling down into obscurity at some state-funded villa on the Med.

Treason is the worst crime that you can commit, absolutely the highest crime in the penal code. The fact that he did it, did it for money, is proud of it, and stands to be lauded as a hero for it in a country that's ostensibly our ally rankles something fierce.

The Insect Court posted:Ok. Pretend he passed secrets to any other nation on earth besides Israel and try to imagine the same bloodthirsty howls for his death by the same crowd of self-described "leftists". Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen will never see the outside of a prison cell, and that's just dandy with me. If both of them had been executed, that would've been fine too.
