(Jerusalem Post) Gil Hoffman - Former U.S. Senate Select Intelligence Committee chairman Dennis DeConcini (D-Ariz.) called Tuesday for the release of Israeli agent Jonathan Pollard, who has served more than 25 years of a life sentence for passing information to an ally. A long list of current and former senior American and Israeli officials have recently called on President Obama to commute Pollard's sentence to time served. "[Pollard's] punishment was more than others were given [for the same and worse offenses]," he said. "It's a question of what is just and fair, and in my opinion, justice has been served already. He is guilty, but it's time for this to be resolved in a better way."
