Obama Unwilling To Release Pollard

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- President Barack Obama, despite appeals from Israel and
leading American Jews, has not demonstrated any willingness to release
former U.S. Navy analyst Jonathan Pollard.
Lobbyists for the release of Pollard, sentenced to life on charges of
relaying classified information to Israel, have reported a cold reception by
Obama and his aides. They said Obama, despite numerous appeals by former
senior defense and intelligence officials, has given no indication that he
intends to release Pollard, imprisoned since 1985.
