Letters Jonathan
Pollard Jonathan Pollard
is lucky the court didn't see fit to
impose the death penalty. In the 1960s, I served in a position
similar to Pollard. I held the highest
possible security clearance and to this
day am still forbidden from revealing
certain details of my work. I know the kind of information he was
privy to and the temptation to tell
someone. I also know that disclosure could
get people killed. The consequences, up to
and including life imprisonment or the
death penalty, were made clear to me every
day, as I am sure they were to
Pollard. What I am unable to fathom is why
American Jews support a man who betrayed
his country. To this day, neither Pollard
nor his supporters acknowledge the
severity of his betrayal. Until then, he
will stay, deservedly so, in federal
detention. Jay B. Smith
