This makes no sense at all.

While I can see how not having their bodies to bury could be painful for the families it makes no sense to release living terrorists for corpses especially when on of the ones they are releasing murdered a 4 year old child.

Sometimes nothing makes much sense. Certainly releasing murderous terrorists in exchange for 2 corpses (dead courtesy of the murderous thugs), makes no sense. Guess Gator will have to disparage me, because I'm sure not defending those terrorists and siding with them. I doubt if there will ever be peace in the Middle East.

Israel retrieved the corpses of the two soldiers, Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, only after agreeing to release Qantar, who had been serving a life term for the deaths of four Israelis, including a 4-year-old girl and her father.

"Woe betide the people who celebrate the release of a beastly man who bludgeoned the skull of a 4-year-old toddler," Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said in a statement before a private meeting to condole the families of the soldiers.
