Last December, Pollard expressed remorse for his spying, shortly after winning Israeli citizenship. In May, Israel finally acknowledged its culpability in the affair. "You are not alone," Netanyahu told Pollard that month in a hand-written note. "The State of Israel will go on working, tirelessly and dauntlessly, to bring you home." And if Pollard finally heads home, it will be with the official Israeli passport--emblazoned with his own name this time--that he received in 1996.
