One day at a future date, we all will find out why in spite of all the attempts by various Political Leaders of Government of Israel at the highest levels, no one was able to get Pollard released from Prison.

By the way, on an unrelated note, I finally read some information that
puts the Jonathan Pollard case into perspective. Apparently, he and his
wife came out with a lot of public, anti-American statements in between
his guilty plea and sentencing, which alienated not only the
prosecution, but his own lawyer. So, when the prosecution illegally
voided the plea bargain, his lawyer purposely sabotaged his case by not
filing the appeal in the legally required time (and, in what is truly a
case of an unjust law, there is NO excuse that is legally acceptable for
filing an appeal late, even if it is the result of criminal collusion
between the prosecution and the defense). In other words, Jonathan
Pollard got a life sentence not because of anti-Semitism or secret
agendas, but because of a combination of technicalities in the law and
the fact that he was a first-class jerk. While this information comes
from his current lawyer, I find this MUCH more believable than any of
the other stories I have heard.
