[QUOTE="Jones, post: 1336425, member: 4805"] "We don't negotiate with terrorists" makes a good sound byte but absolutes are never universally applicable, you have to be pragmatic. There are times when it's in our interests not to negotiate, and there are times when we have to cut a deal to get what we want. The Israelis have as much as experience dealing with terrorism as anyone and they have always been willing to negotiate if that's what it took to get their people back. They've traded hundreds of prisoners just to get back a set of remains. Five of their guys for one of ours seems like a good deal to me, I don't have a problem with it. [/QUOTE]
