Haaretz: Pollard family calls on Obama to let convicted spy visit dying father

Family members of convicted spy Jonathan Pollard have asked U.S. President Barack Obama to allow Pollard to visit his dying father.

The medical condition of Morris Pollard, Jonathan's father, has deteriorated significantly after a bladder infection. 

Pollard provided highly classified US intelligence including numerous intelligence documents to Israel. Israel has been trying to get him back since he was convicted for espionage in 1987. Israel may have provided many of the US documents to the Soviets to trade for Jewish "political prisoners." 

Pollard was convicted for espionage in 1987 and compromised hundreds of documents. He has been interred in a minimum security prison that also houses Bernie Madoff., 

If the US releases Pollard from jail, he will stay in Israel for certain. In view of the recent nastiness of Benjamin Netanyahu toward Obama. it would be best to let Jonathan Pollard rot in jail. 

The US has little to gain by releasing this criminal.
