Prisoner exchange?

YNet is reporting in the name of al-Hayat that 'moderate Palestinian President' Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen told Hamas that "a large number of prisoners" will be released from Israeli jails in exchange for the release of kidnapped IDF solider Corporal Gilad Shalit.

Al-Hayat claims that Abu Mazen made the statement after a meeting with Shin Bet Chief Yuval Diskin.

We can only hope that this report is wrong (or a bit of over-optimism on Abu Mazen's part). Releasing prisoners terrorists in exchange for Shalit or anyone else is just inviting the next kidnapping.

I agree with you Carl, exchanging prisoners for hostages only invites more hostage taking, while releasing murderous terrorists back into the population to kill more Israelis.
