Diane’s farewell message
After 52 years at WAMU, Diane Rehm says goodbye.
Former civilian Navy intelligence analyst Jonathan Pollard is now serving a life sentence for selling highly classified data to Israel in the mid-1980s. Last fall during the Wye Plantation mideast peace talks, President Clinton promised Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu that he would order a review of Pollard’s case and consider clemency. Navy officials and members of the intelligence community have objected strongly to such a move. A panel talks about the Pollard case: what Pollard actually did, and why the case has come under review.
