If the article is on FR, people can't be expected not to comment on it. There's a big difference between commenting on something and assuming, without evidence, that it is true.
To: Joe Boucher
Pollard should be hung.Pollard should be have been hung.

Hasn't Pollard been released a almost a dozen times already?Yes. Esther spreads this rumor about once a year.

What one country on Earth is today, in every way measurable, better off then it was on Sept 10, 2001?
Notwithstanding 15 of 19 of their citizens?

"What, quite frankly, does the UNITED STATES get out of this reported idiotic exchange? Appalling."
Do we think he is a counter-balance against Hamas?

That's exactly what they think. They think the Palestinians love Barghouti and that he will defeat Hamas by popular support. It also means they think Abbas is dogmeat and they need another leader.
Trouble will stir and Abbas will call for new elections and Bargouti will come to the rescue as a populist winner of the new election.
You never know. He has been in Israeli prison now for many years. He could be a double agent by now. (just a little bit joking).
More seriously, it's clear Israel is serious about 'introvergence' and that in the absense of Israelis the Palestinians need some kind of serious leadership. The west have nothing in Abbas and no respect for Hamas so... big change.

Hey, long time no see!
I understand what you're saying and the article as well, it's just that I cannot fathom this working.

The people who should know better than others not to trust the MSM seem to do so every darn time, no matter how wild the accusation. If it is anti-Bush it must be true.

It's spin...Don't buy into it...Probably won't happen.
Israel is set to offer the proposed prisoner swap deal in the next few months
Just wishful thinking on Israel's part.

I believe Pollard should be released. He has served more then appropriate time for his offense the real offense not the fiction that has grown around him fed by malicious sources).
Free Pollard! Execute our real enemies!

[In 2004 Israel suggested a similar move but the initiative was rejected by the US government. ]
So, what has changed since 2004? This sounds fishy (r perhaps it's a trial baloon). I'd like to know more about the details. If true, the Bush Admin owes needs to explain the reasoning behind this strange move.

The problem I have with believing this is why would Israel be offering this kind of deal now?
We have Iran on the verge of becoming a nuclear power and declaring they will destroy Israel. America may be their only friend in stopping this. Why pick now to start throwing political fire crackers at the White House?
To: spyone
Wow, by the third post, blaming the republican, Bush, and anything else. Of course, waiting to see if it's true is not a consideration. No wonder the conservatives lose, we're our own worst enemy.

GOOD point.
Article notes "Officials in Jerusalem" and "Army radio" --- no names, VAGUE.
I doubt it's accurate.

To: onyx
Trying to politically ham-string a President under assault from all sides, who may be the only leader in the world with the commitment to come to your aide with Iran, just doesn't seem smart to me.
To: CWOJackson
And it seems deliberate.
THAT is what I find most troubling.
