From U.S. Ambassador Apologizes for Remarks on Pollard:
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Richard Jones apologized Tuesday for remarks about Jonathan Pollard, and said that they did not reflect his personal views, nor those of the U.S. Jones called the comments “misinformed and misleading.” Jones had told a university conference that the U.S. had been lenient with Pollard as it did not execute him for spying for Israel.
