JERUSALEM (Reuters) - The Israeli cabinet set tough terms on Sunday for the release of Palestinian prisoners in a move that could rattle a cease-fire declared by militants and the U.S.-backed peace plan the truce has bolstered. This wording is Reuters all over (and of course, NPR echoes them). Once more, peace is ready to just break out if only those damn Israelis weren't such hard asses - in this case, by demanding to see some of that crackdown on terrorism that is Step 1 in the Roadmap. I notice that Reuters doesn't even report what the Israeli demands are, while repeating Palestinian demands for total prisoner release, which is nowhere in the Roadmap. And when the hudna ends and all those released prisoners rejoin Hamas and Fatah and start shooting again, you may be sure that Reuters will report it was all Israel's fault. For not releasing them faster with no demands.
