Spies and Killers

An American jailed for 30 years for spying for Israel is to be freed in November after the US granted his parole, according to his lawyers.

Jonathan Pollard, a former US Navy intelligence analyst, was jailed for life in 1987 after being found guilty of passing documents to Israel.

I've made my feelings about him clear. Since the Israelis have granted him citizenship, he should go directly from stir to an El Al airplane.

Now this one ought to be pegging the irony meter:

British terrorist “Jihadi John” has reportedly left the Islamic State (aka ISIS) group, fearing for his life after being identified six months earlier as a Kuwaiti-born Londoner from a well-to-do family.

Jihadi John left because the terrorist organization might drop him "like a stone or worse if they feel he is no longer of any use to them," according to a source for the British news outlet, the Daily Express.

At this point, all of the press reports trace back to a single unconfirmed report. So who knows.

But it would indeed be sweet justice if he was eaten by the tiger he was riding.
