Is there a better politician than Netanyahu ?
I love the way Netanyahu works........
Israel seeks release of spy in exchange for extending settlement freeze.
According to Israel's army radio, the prime minister's office has approached Washington with a deal to continue the moratorium for another three months in return for the release of Jonathan Pollard, a former navy intelligence analyst convicted of spying in 1987.
Binyamin Netanyahu, has long pressed for Pollard to be freed, but winning his release would help him sell concessions to rightwing members of his cabinet and the settlers.
Army radio said that Netanyahu had asked an unnamed intermediary to sound out the Obama administration on the proposal, but it is not known what response was received. Other Israeli media reported that the prime minister dispatched the intermediary to approach the Americans "discreetly, and unofficially".

So the settlers will do that for Pollard now?
s_isale: American pays ransom on a regular basis. That is why the K and R business is so lucrative.
America doesnt pay ransom or do they?
How best can one approach an American..that too discreetly and unofficially? Something to ponder over!
What cracks me up is that he "offers" to "continue the moratorium for another three months"
Then, he'll ask for something else... ;O)
He's just something else!
There are crooked manipulative politicians and then there is Netanyahu
politicians plan for long term, mission accomplishes in or afterward their lives...
