In a statement just released
by the Council of Orthodox
Rabbis of Greater Detroit,
Rabbi Chaskel Grubner said
the Vaad "is very concerned
about the case of Jonathan
Pollard.

should be punished.
"What worries us is the
inconsistency of his

ers who have been found guilty
of the same crime."
Mr. Pollard has been incar-

government said he gave to

Mr. Pollard has repeatedly
asserted he revealed the infor-
Mation, which included details
about Syrian and Iraqi intelli-
o- e,nce operations and warfare

Israeli lives.
