John Moore,

When you say “espionage is not a different crime when it is done by a friendly nation” you are stating an opinion that is opposed to settled policy.

If we had always treated such infractions as you claim I’d say: no problem.

What I object to is Pollard’s “special treatment”.

In fact in the 18 years subsequent to Pollard’s conviction no other friendly nation spy has recieved such treatment.

Why?
