#1 Not that I believe he should be let go, but the "information" he passed and has mental possession of is now more suitable for a Military Surplus Store.

#3 If we didn't have double standards, we would have none whatsoever. *sour face*

#5 Well at least we didn't have to give up six senior Taliban to arrange his release.

Snark of the day.

Send him to Baltimore.

#9 I take this particular case personally. I spent 15 years in the Naval Reserve Intelligence program. Most of my two week training periods were spent in Suitland, MD, where Pollard worked. Who knows, I may have even seen him in the cafeteria.

As far as I am concerned, he should have served out his sentence.

#12 In light of the fact this slug was motivated as much ,if not more, by greed then any sense of loyalty it seems odd Pollard has so many supporters. Kinda like that Brown fellow in Ferguson and the BLM movement I spose.

#13 Should have been hung as a traitor. Deserters and traitors being treated easily. Where did it all go wrong?

#14 Well at least we didn't have to give up six senior Taliban to arrange his release.

At the time I laughed and agreed with the award.

Apparently, there were five gitmos released.
