I am in many ways against prisoner swaps for Israel, it encourages more kidnappings. Since Shalit has been kidnapped there have been a lot of offers, prisoners have been released (alot were PLO though not Hamas in order to strengthen Abbas), and yet Shalit is not even treated like a prisoner of war (which he isn't). And since then here have been a number of threats for more kidnappings, and several failed attempts.
Israel does pride itself that it will go to great steps to retrieve a live captured soldier, it is even saddening the trades they made with Hezballah for body parts. Which there is no Jewish law for, and I think the security trade off was not worth it.
