[0:06] >> Israel's chief hostage negotiator says
[0:08] he still expects progress on an exchange
[0:10] of hostages, including Americans, held
[0:13] in Lebanon, but the expected release of
[0:15] American Joseph Cypio today did not
[0:18] materialize. Bob Simon has more from Tel
[0:21] Aviv.
[0:22] Israelis now revealed that this scene at
[0:24] their border with Lebanon was part of a
[0:26] carefully choreographed deal and that
[0:28] Hezbollah has not come through with the
[0:30] goods until it does. Israelis saying the
[0:33] road to further releases will remain
[0:35] blocked. Perez Aquayar had worked out
[0:37] all the steps. This stage involved the
[0:40] return of nine Hezbollah bodies and the
[0:42] release of 51 prisoners in exchange for
[0:45] complete information on two Israeli
[0:47] soldiers missing since 1986. The
[0:50] Israelis got what they needed on one,
[0:52] enough information to pronounce him
[0:53] dead. But Hezbollah short changed them
[0:56] on the other.
[0:57] >> I have no doubt in my mind that the
[0:59] information required is in their hands.
[1:02] >> So why aren't they supplying?
[1:03] >> Because it seems that they want to
[1:06] extort some more.
[1:07] >> Despite the impass, Israelis believe the
[1:09] Iranians want to get out of the hostage
[1:11] business and all they're doing now is
[1:13] haggling over price. The Israelis seem
[1:15] to be suggesting that if Hezbollah just
[1:18] provides a little more information about
[1:19] a soldier who's almost certainly dead,
[1:22] they will release more Shiites and that
[1:24] could open doors for more of the
[1:25] Westerners in Lebanon. Bob
