USA Proposes: Release Pollard in exchange for release of terrorists
-- NRG
The USA made an offer to the Palestinians that Israel would release more terrorists in exchange for the Palestinians continuing to participate in the peace talks. Unfortunately for the Americans, they failed to clear this deal with the Israelis before making the offer to the Palestinians. In exchange for Israel's agreement, they had to offer to release Pollard.
While Pollard himself has said he does not want his freedom as part of a deal to release terrorists, at this point I don't think that matters. As we have seen, Israel will most likely release the terrorists anyway.... so we might as well get Pollard in return...
Just we need to make sure we don't leave Pollard to the end, but that he is put on a plane right at the beginning of the exchange.. so we don't have a repeat of what happened at the Wye Plantation...
(BTW, there are conflicting reports as to this new report of the offer to release Pollard, with some reports now saying the USA is denying such an offer has been made)
