<That's usually called "an exchange of POWs" by the military. 5 for one is cheap. <

When I envision a POW.. I envision a member of the US Military that is captured during exercises, not someone who became "disillusioned", went AWOL out into the night. Again, since we are not at War, then I would consider them a POT. Prisoner of Terrorism, or perhaps POS, Prisoner of Stupidity.

<sraeli prisoner exchanges refer to exchanges of prisoners during the Arab-Israeli conflict. Israel has exchanged POWs with its Arab neighbors, and has released about 7,000 Palestinian prisoners to secure freedom for 19 Israelis and to retrieve the bodies of eight others.
<

Obviously, Israel has a policy of negotiating with Terrorists, and they and their citizens pay the price. The US has long had a standing policy of not negotiating with Terrorists.. Well, until recently.. And the citizens of the US will pay the price for that policy change.. Perhaps Mr. Foley... Already has.........

And so it goes,
