with you on this....I will have to agree to disagree<br />with you on this. The actions of Pollard have directly caused me multiple annoyances. As far as I am concerned he can spend the rest of his life in there.<br /><br />I took an oath and knew the rules and so did Pollard. He knew the likely consequences of his actions <br />and deserves his fate.<br /><br />beakerkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088967209404588378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-10177196645741170082013-11-23T22:43:27.344+02:002013-11-23T22:43:27.344+02:00It's not just Pollard.

It's easy for you to blame Pollard. <br />I know someone who worked in the American security field before Pollard and he was "set up" like Pollard was with a chance to see secret data not related to his job. He ignored it and quit soon after, because he felt that they were out to trip him up. He now lives in Israel.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-31370108752027398172013-11-23T22:16:48.796+02:002013-11-23T22:16:48.796+02:00Batya
Do you have any idea of the abuse of
Jewis...Batya<br /><br />Do you have any idea of the abuse of <br />Jewish workers caused by Pollard. I get hours of annoying questions thanks to his stupidity.<br /><br />Unlike most I am direct when confronted with this bigotry.<br /><br />I usually respond to what do my views on Israel have to do with my job capacity? Are you similarly interested in my views of Belieze<br />or as a Jewish American an I being targeted for undue scrutiny.<br /><br />What does my attendance record at the local house of worship have to do with my job? What does the religious views of my family members have to do with my job? One can thank Pollard for these indignities heaped on me every five years.<br /><br />Many of my coworkers are dealing with his legacy daily. His actions <br />have personally impacted my life and career.<br /><br />In theory, I should be able to go to Israel and enjoy a visit. Plenty of non Jewish coworkers made similar trips without excessive questions. For now I will have to restrict my travels to short trips to Guyana.<br /><br />Leave Pollard where he is. I suggest his wife should start apologizing to all the Jewish Federal employees whose lives and career were made more difficult do to his actions. <br /><br />Have the indignities heaped on Jewish professionals caused by Pollard ended? When I can sit for a security clearance and not get scores of questions about my faith <br />or distant relatives in Israel I have never met my views will change.beakerkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088967209404588378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-56678115546308183942013-11-23T17:29:14.963+02:002013-11-23T17:29:14.963+02:00beakerkin, I didn't say he shouldn't have ...beakerkin, I didn't say he shouldn't have been convicted; I just said that the punishment didn't fit the crime.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-18263540836477270032013-11-23T15:16:38.155+02:002013-11-23T15:16:38.155+02:00I disagree.

When one works for the Federal Government one understands the penalties for violating the rules.<br /><br />Any Jewish professional who has had a difficult time with their security clearance should thank Pollard. Every five years I get a wonderful reminder of Pollard's stupidity when my clearance is renewed.beakerkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088967209404588378noreply@blogger.com
