Jonathan Pollard [1] got a get out of jail card. And he did extensive damage to our national security.
Private Manning should be pardoned. That poor kid has suffered enough.

- pvg 10y agoPollard was paroled after spending almost 30 years in prison - nearly the length of Manning's sentence. It's not a 'get out of jail card' you want to be wishing on her.
- eternalban 10y agoPrivate Manning made one mistake, as far as I know. Pollard made a business of betraying America.
- pvg 10y agoI'm just pointing out it's not much of a supporting example. Pollard's sentence was not commuted. He was paroled in accordance with guidelines at the time of his sentencing. He spent 29 years in prison. If you want some kind of clemency for Manning, well, Pollard's case doesn't demonstrate or involve clemency.
