| Kerry DidnÂŽt Know, But Signed Anyway; Brother Visits Yad Vashem |
| 2004-07-15 |
| "If Kerry wants to learn about Pollard, it is not enough for him to say so; he must meet with Pollard’s lawyers and actually do so, as he has been invited to do in the past." So says Adi Ginzburg, an activist on behalf of Jonathan Pollard, referring to the U.S. Presidential candidate’s recent comments. In a conference call with Jewish leaders in Florida, the Democratic Party’s about-to-be nominee was asked if he would pardon Pollard in the event that he was elected. Kerry responded that he is not sufficiently familiar with the matter, but that if he was elected, he would look into it more deeply. The Justice for Jonathan Pollard organization expressed surprise at this response, as Kerry was one of 60 signatories to the infamous "Senators’ Letter" against Pollard. If he is not familiar with the details, asked the organization, "then why did he sign a 1999 Senate letter condemning Jonathan Pollard and calling on then-President Bill Clinton not to release him?... If indeed Mr. Kerry knows so little about this case - which Appeals Court Justice Steven Williams described as ’a fundamental miscarriage of justice’ - why did he sign the letter?" |

| #5 HP, Israel claims that Pollard prevented another holocost by warning them of Saddam Hussein's plans to scorch the Jewish State with weapons of mass destruction. Information that the US would not share with Israel. Link. But that doesn't explain why he cleaned out every worthwhile secret that this nation had and gave it to Israel. Another link. Pollard should stay right where he is Senator sKerry. |
