Pollard activists to use McCain to pressure Romney
(JPost) – Activists for Pollard’s freedom will hoist posters of McCain – who opposed clemency until recently – wherever Romney goes in Israel.
« click for story “What about Manning?” Mitt Romney, like Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, will be presented with a letter calling for clemency for Pollard signed by Knesset faction heads representing 109 MKs across the political spectrum from Meretz to the National Union.
In his only public comments about Pollard so far, Romney told the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations in December that he was “open to examining” the case. While one Jewish leader said afterward that he was confident that Romney would see the justice in Pollard’s case once he studied it, another Jewish leader present at the meeting said he was disappointed Romney did not call for Pollard’s release.
