Jonathan Pollard was well-rewarded by the Israelis for his criminal acts. From the PBS Nova website:
A few days later, Sella and Pollard met in Washington. Pollard provided detailed information on chemical warfare manufacturing plants in Iraq. For this initial transaction Pollard was given a $10,000 diamond and sapphire ring for his fianc饬 Anne Henderson, and paid over $10,000 in cash. Sella also agreed to pay Pollard $1,500 a month for his espionage activities as long as they continued.
For about a year after the time Pollard met Avi Sella, he gathered computer printouts, satellite photographs, and classified documents from his department three times a week and brought them to various Washington apartments. There, they were copied and returned to Pollard, who restored them to the Navy the following day. In exchange for his services Pollard received, in addition to the agreed salary, a lavish collection of gifts for himself and his wife, including a honeymoon in a private compartment aboard the Orient Express.

Last year, CNN reported on a Pollard appeal at a US District Court. The article presents both sides of the argument, with this interesting final paragraph:
Some U.S. intelligence officials say if Israel was willing to detail for the United States all the documents and intelligence Pollard stole, then officials in Washington might drop their strong opposition to letting him go.
So, as of Sept. 2, 2003 Israel still refused to release a full list of all of the classified documents they received from Jonathan Pollard? Now, why is that?
