Eli n Among the Psychiatrists

A long-distance diagnosis should focus on Cuba.

Kate O'Beirne is NR's Washington editor.

If Dr. Redlener is worried about "psychological abuse," he ought to consider Cuban state-TV reports about the regime's "readaptation" plans for Eli n. A large, seaside house with a swimming pool has been prepared for Eli n, his family, a team of psychologists, teachers, and about a dozen of his classmates. (Do Cuban parents have anything to say about their children being moved to this communal-indoctrination set-up?). It's a safe bet that when Eli n emerges from the planned three-month "transition" period in his temporary digs, he'll not have a kind word to say about Miami, or his American relatives. Dr. Redlener imagined a "hostage situation" in the video of Eli n declaring that he didn't want to return to Cuba. It will be the real thing when Eli n is held out of sight, until he's willing to be the toughest little Communist in Cuba.
