Daily Mail, UK - A former CIA director claims that Edward Snowden should be 'hanged by the neck' in the wake of the Paris terrorist attacks. James Woolsey said that Snowden, a former NSA contractor who leaked confidential information in 2013, should be convicted of treason.
'It's still a capital crime, and I would give him the death sentence, and I would prefer to see him hanged by the neck until he's dead, rather than merely electrocuted,' Woolsey told CNN.
Woolsey said that Snowden is partly responsible for the terror attacks in Paris that killed at least 132 people last week
Wikipedia - In 2005, Steve Clemons, a senior fellow at the New America Foundation think tank, accused Woolsey of both profiting from and promoting the Iraq War.Melvin A. Goodman, senior fellow at the Center for International Policy and former CIA division chief, told the Washington Post that "Woolsey was a disaster as CIA director in the 1990s and is now running around this country calling for a World War IV to deal with the Islamic problem".

David Macaray, 2014 - Last week it was reported that former CIA Director James Woolsey, forced to resign during the Clinton administration for his bungling of the Aldrich Ames affair, was going around telling people that the reason Jonathan Pollard, the notorious Israeli spy, was still in prison after 29 years is because the U.S. government is anti-Semitic. In short, Pollard remains in prison because he’s a Jew.
That has got to be one of the silliest statements of the new year. If Woolsey honestly believes the U.S. government is anti-Semitic, that it is driven by anti-Jewish sentiments, he needs to explain why the U.S. has generously made Israel, the spiritual and geographical homeland of the Jewish people, a virtual client-state, having given/lent/made available billions upon billions of dollars over the years.
... In truth, Woolsey’s continued nitpicking since leaving office is a result of his never having forgiven Clinton for firing him. As sordid and disgraceful as the Aldrich Ames affair was, Woolsey didn’t think he deserved any of the blame, even though this Ames fellow, this paid Soviet agent posing as a CIA operative, was so conspicuously guilty, so easy to track down, his trail resembled snail slime. The buck stops with Woolsey.

Jonathan Pollard gave the master list of all frequencies that the NSA was monitoring in the world to the Mossad. This was a complete list of what the NSA was listening to and what they were hearing from foreign targets - particularly the Soviet Union. This was one of the most sensitive national security documents of the United States. Not long after Pollard gave that document to Israel, two things happened - 1) all of the Soviet channels that the US was monitoring went "dark" and 2) the Soviet Union began releasing large numbers of Soviet Jews for emigration to Israel. It is the opinion of many that Pollard should be hanged and that Israel can not be trusted as an ally at any level. The fact that Pollard walked free yesterday and military aid to Israel continues to increase is a testimonial to the embedded power of the Israel lobby. The idea that the US government is antisemitic is a Woolsey-headed fantasy.
