#5  Hamas is fond of 100 to 1 prisoner exchanges. It might be interesting if Israel were to extend that to bodies. For example, if all Hamas has to offer is Shalit's corpse, then it should be exchanged for the corpses of 1,000 or so Hamas prisoners.

#3  Prime Minister Olmert announced yesterday he was walking away from negotiations at the previous price. I think the relatives' promise to go hunting got his attention.

#2  What else can they do. They can't deliver him. Unfortunately chances are he's long dead :(.

If he was alive they would be releasing videos of him to put on the pressure.

#1  Hmmm, no one wants to buy what you are selling at the offered price, so you raise the price to make the deal more attractive. That makes sense - in a Bizzaro World sort of way. Although it does explain why the Islamic world has roughly the same GDP as San Francisco's Chinatown.
