I had a small amount of hope that something would happen.  But haven't heard anything since.  What a freakin' let down!

What do you expect, the Jews of the world would rather see Mumia Abu-Jamal freed than the American hero Pollard.

Too bad the ball isn't in our court.

Situations being what they are Pollard's case is not even on the charts... The only way he will ever get any consideration is if the shvartza Administration finds a way to use him as a bargaining chip... With very little outcry for his release their is no incentive to bring his case to the forefront... Sadly out of sight out of mind seems to be what both the government of the U.S.A and Israel have decided in this case.
