Prime Minister Sharon told CNN yesterday that he would ask U.S. President Bush to pardon Jonathan Pollard when the two leaders meet next week. Sharon and Bush will meet in Washington for the first time since taking their respective offices. When asked if he will use the opportunity to seek Pollard\'s release, Sharon said, \"I\'ll do that... I think that it will be very, very important if Jonathan Pollard is freed after so many years in prison.\" AP reports that Sharon\'s spokesman Ra\'anan Gissin said that the agenda of the Sharon-Bush meeting had not been finalized, but that the Pollard issue will undoubtedly be on it. \"It\'s a moral obligation to fight for someone who served the state of Israel,\'\' Gissin said.
