Even an appeasement oriented PM like Olmert admits that it was probably Hamas that planned the attempted massacre in Haifa. So now, he looks to release even more terrorists, and senior ones at that, to aid and assist the Islamist murderers in perfecting their technique. If he does, any future terrorist success is on his hand and he becomes the proverbial "terrorist with blood on his hands." Hamas has now painted itself in to a corner with the release. Why else such a deluge of media spin and hype to try and justify itself? If Israel stands firm, the corpse of Shalit will be brought home for a proper burial and a new government that is more Israel-minded can take proper retribution.
