What is repugnant is that these Relatives would be allowed to further the political agenda of the defeated exiles at the expense of their young great nephew's relationship with his father. These people - these Relatives - had ample opportunity to comply with the demand to return the person of Eli ncito. But they refused. They girded themselves with hoards of the defiant. Basking in the spotlight of the lenses of a thousand cameras. Attempting to make a mockery of the rule of law. They made a cause celebr‚ of a little boy who had been taken from Cuba, survived several days in a raft, lost his mother and had found himself in the care of a hysterical fainting mother wannabe, and denied access to his father. He was surrounded by the likes of Dalrymple the erstwhile savior and 24/7 interview giver and those Exile para-military squads. He was forced from attending school because of this circus. His life was being lived in center ring. All the while without his father. Had those in whose physical care the INS placed Eli n had more concern for the boy and less concern for their own personal fortunes and political agendas, this repugnancy that you feel for the Federal agents who had no choice but to enforce the law, would never have darkened your days. But alas, it was not to be. Yet you persist as an apologist for the SELFISH agendas of the Relatives and the Exiles, and decry the inevitable outcome of their intransigeance as repugnant. I say shame on Lazaro for being so weak as to not live up to his responsibilities with the INS and to his great nephew. He had a moment to define his character and he failed. What should have been a Carpe diem opportunity turned in to caving to the anti-Castro exiles. In the end now he has lost, the exiles have lost and Eli n is finally back where he should be but with the experience of having to endure that showdown.
