Been following this case closely because Whelan is from Michigan. Imagine how depressed he must have been as others with much less time behind bars were released. He had to think he'd been forgotten about and could have been bitter towards America. Instead what makes it even more amazing that he hatches this plot to feed info from the Ukraine front lines to US diplomats visiting him in prison. What if the visiting room was bugged? If he had gotten caught undoubtedly he would have had 'an accident' and been killed by the Russians. I think this former Marine deserves some formal recognition from the US.
