Pollard to Undergo Surgery

Incarcerated Israeli agent Jonathan Pollard was temporarily taken out of his North Carolina prison on Tuesday to undergo an urgent surgical procedure needed because of severe lung problems.

Last week, Pollard asked visiting ambassador Michael Oren Tuesday to plead his case before US President Barack Obama "before it's too late."
 
Oren became the first representative of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to visit Pollard in his prison cell since his term began. The visit was nearly canceled due to Pollard's poor health.
 
Pollard and his wife Esther explained to Oren the problems with his health, the extreme pain he is enduring, and the urgency for him to heal as a free man.
 
"I don't know how much longer he will manage to keep going," Esther Pollard said.
 
"Jonathan was supposed to have an urgent operation, but the administration of the prison canceled it due to the visit. He was really disappointed by this timing conflict because he remains in terrible pain and in need of an urgent operation."

Rare Speech for Pollard from Floor of Congress

Democratic Representative Barney Frank made a rare speech from the floor of the Congress Tuesday on behalf of clemency for Jonathan Pollard, hospitalized for surgery.

"I believe that in addition to the arguments based on the excessive length of the sentence, I think, the fact that Mr. Pollard has served for so long, clearly the deterrent effect is there; we are not asking that he be pardoned; we are not condoning his crime,” the Massachusetts  legislator said in his short speech.

“We are saying that in addition to the personal argument, it would be a sign of U.S. - Israeli relations that I think would help strengthen the climate for peace," he added.

President Barack Obama has not commented. Pollard, whose health has been deteriorating, was rushed from his North Carolina prison cell Monday to a hospital. U.S. officials have refused to tell Pollard’s wife Esther, who flew to the United States to visit him, where her husband is being hospitalized and have not informed her of his condition.

Last week, Michael Oren, Israeli Ambassador to the United States, visited Pollard, who asked the envoy to appeal to President Obama to release from his life term in prison for passing on classified information to Israel.

The offense usually carries a jail term of up to four years, and several current and past U.S. officials in the past year have admitted that the life sentence was too harsh and handed down after an unfair trial.

Rep. Frank last October drafted a letter, signed by 36 other Democrats in the House of Representatives, appealing to President Obama to grant Pollard clemency.

Even a sicko, like Barney Frank, knows the truth.

I'm surprised someone as left wing as Barney Frank  is actually supportive of Pollard.

God bless Pollard. One day he will be set free.
