I would like to correct one mistake many posters are making
concerning the recent hijacking.  The terrorist's original
demands had nothing to do with the 700 + prisoners in Isreal.
The original demands were the release of terrorists being held
in a Spanish jail, the release of others in another prison,
and the payment of 2 million dollars in ransom.  The demands
changed during one of those several Algeria-Lebonan flights.
Someone had to have pointed out to them the futility of the
original demands.  And, since it was probably already known
that the 700+ were to be released anyway, this would be a 
better goal, plus it would cause a bigger fuss between the
US and Isreal.  I feel that there was a lot more to the
change in demands than meets the eye.
