summit today so we saw some pictures of them listening as the various speakers were there. it s all good. chris, i want to switch gears to the wall street report that the obama administration will release convicted israeli spy jonathan pollard from prison at some point. what is the significance of this? what do you hear if anything from government officials? reporter: well, the significance is that the wall street journal says it has been told that the reason that this would happen is because they sort of want to appease israel who has been very upset about the u.s. push for this iran nuclear deal. but u.s. officials i talked to say that couldn t be further from the truth. in fact, i got a statement from the nfc saying mr. pollard s status will be determined by the parole position. there is zero linkage between mr. pollard s status and foreign policy considerations. he got a 30 year sentence that is over in november so should he be let out a few months
