[C. G. Estabrook]

[Then there's the following nugget.  --CGE]

In a 2007 interview with the American Jewish affairs program Shalom TV, Senator 
Biden said that Israel was "the single greatest strength America has in the 
Middle East." He further declared, "I am a Zionist. You don't have to be a Jew 
to be a Zionist." Asked about imprisoned Israeli agent Jonathan Pollard, Biden 
said that he should be given "leniency."
