What other card to we have left to play besides negotiation? (that we haven't tried already, that we can afford, that will take the amount of time the public is willing to wait)
I ask this with very little confidence that releasing these prisoners will lead to anything meaningful.

How about someone murders several of your family members or closest friends, and is let walk after a few months in jail because he promised not to do it again?
Are you okay with that?
We are 4th and 1 right now. Either finish the job right or get out.
