Pollard Release Unrelated to Negotiations with Iran
(Wall Street Journal) Devlin Barrett - U.S. officials have strongly denied any link between the Iran talks and Jonathan Pollard's parole decision. Pollard's lawyers will ask the White House to let him move to Israel, which granted him citizenship in 1995. However, a White House spokesman said the president "has no intention of altering the terms of Mr. Pollard's parole." The U.S. Justice Department said that Pollard has served his full term according to the sentencing law at the time he was convicted. Pollard, arrested in 1985, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison.
