Israel buys death with life

The State of Israel has concluded a prisoner swap. It has traded five living prisoners for two dead soldiers. Apparently, these soldiers had been dead for quite some time, and they may have been mutilated -- hopefully post-mortem.
If I were running Israel, I would love to have traded back the five living prisoners, after dosing them with a slow-acting poison. If the two soldiers had been returned alive, I'd have sent the antidote in a subsequent delivery.
