Reply To: Gingrich Inclined to Grant Clemency to Pollard

There was always a movement but Pollard himself was not always involved. In addition, a lot has changed in three years. The Israeli government has been making requests on his behalf, congressman are making requests on his behalf and like I mentioned earlier his father was ill and dying and then died and humanitarian requests were made because of that. Humanitarian requests were made because of his own declining health. That didn’t happen under Bush.
