Washington — A recent series of public statements and letters has landed the campaign for the release of convicted spy Jonathan Pollard its greatest achievement in 25 years: a powerful bipartisan roster demanding clemency for Pollard, the American convicted of spying for Israel and sentenced to a life term.
Two former senior officials with Republican administrations — George Shultz, who served as secretary of state under President Reagan, and Michael Mukasey, George W. Bush’s attorney general — have sent letters to President Obama calling for Pollard’s release, thus providing the campaign to free Pollard with the conservative credentials it was previously lacking.
