Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire We are going to free Pollard?

I really don't see this as much of an issue. He's eligible for parole next year and there's no indication he wouldn't get it. So what's the big deal, he was going to get out next year anyhow...so we let him go a year early, to assist in peace talks. How is this an issue?

Parole � even if the US government decides not to fight it in 2015, which is unlikely � would leave the balance of Pollard�s 45-year life sentence intact, and would not set him free.

On the contrary, parole would mean that for another 15 years (the balance of his sentence) the US would severely restrict his freedom of movement, travel, speech, employment and even domicile. He certainly would not be free to come home to Israel, the country to which he has devoted his life.
