Honorable President George W. Bush:
I write to you pleading for the release of Jonathan Pollard.
I am well aware of the crime he committed against the United States. At the same time it is important to recognize that Mr. Pollard was not charged with treason or spying for an enemy country or even endangering the United States or its Citizens. Generally a person convicted of spying for a friendly country receives a 2-4 year sentence.
Never in the history of our country did a person convicted of one count of passing classified information receive a sentence as harsh as Jonathan Pollard. Something went terribly wrong in Jonathan Pollard’s case. He has been in Jail for over 22 years.
Jonathan Pollard has repeatedly expressed his remorse publicly and in private letters to the President and others. He regrets having broken the law, and is sorry he did not find a legal means to act upon his concerns for Israel. He has served more than an adequate sentence and he poses no threat to the United States or her allies.
Please review the facts of the Jonathan Pollard case and use the power of your office to pardon him. His case cries out loudly for a pardon.
Respectfully,
