Commentary;
Almost a year and 4 months ago Esther Pollard spoke at Young Israel Beit Knesset Hanassi, Jerusalem indicating that State Controller Micha Lindenstrauss had promised to investigate the entire Pollard affair and the role of successive Israeli governments in it.
It is a disappointment that 16 months later, it seems that only a mandate by the Knesset State Control committee has compelled beginning such an investigation and that the State Controller and his staff apparently did not take the initiative on its own to investigate based on his meetings with and promises to Esther Pollard.
