[Avodah] Trading convicted killers for dead bodies

[Rich, Joel]

I've been thinking a lot about it and don't want to discuss the
specifics but am wondering if anyone has seen any halachik (micro and/or
meta-halachik) material on trading convicted non-Jewish killers for dead
Jewish bodies. I suppose an obvious parallel is Maharam Mrutenberg and
the gemara's 2 reasons -impoverishment and/or impact on future
kidnappings.

I hold by R' YBS earlier pronouncements and generally try to keep my
mouth shut in public about Israel government policies since I am chu"l
so if Micha thinks this will lead to analysis of the actual decisions,
please do not post this.
