Efforts to pressure US President Barack Obama to commute the life sentence of Israeli agent Jonathan Pollard shifted to the Internet on Sunday when pro-Pollard activists released a Youtube video .

The video includes clips and quotes about the Pollard case from several respected American leaders, including Congressman Anthony Weiner (Democrat-NY), former US attorney-general Michael Mukasey, former CIA director James Woolsey, Obama adviser Dennis Ross, and even the late defense secretary Caspar Weinberger, whose letter to Pollard's judges resulted in his life sentence.
