This deal was a fiasco, from beginning to end. The deal only endangered more Israeli (and perhaps others`) lives and emboldened Hezbollah. The release of Palestinian prisoners in this context made Hezbollah an ersthwhile champion of the Palestinians, too. Olmert should not have released more "security prisoners" -. The mistakes made here could fill a book.
