A Look Back At The Jonathan Pollard Spy Case

With a rumor floating in news circles that Secretary of State Kerry is offering to release convicted spy Jonathan Pollard to the Israelis in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners - a truly bad idea in my view - I thought to offer a look back at Pollard's espionage case.

A while back I interviewed Ronald J. Olive, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service special agent who investigated, arrested and interrogated Pollard, for Counterterrorism magazine.
