Does anyone seriously believe the Justice Department would not* have arrested the relatives if they felt they had a case regarding kidnapping?* Well, I certainly do!! WHether a technical case for kidnapping could be made or not, in this instance, it would have been very injudicious of the govt to prosecute. Particularly in family matters, the full extent of what CAN be done under the law is often not done. Why do you think the Miami relatives still had legal rights once their petition for custody was denied in court? And if they didn't, on what basis did they refuse to turn over Elian when ordered? The Asylum request had been dismissed and they were ordered on Apr 12 to turn over E. They refused and got the court order for E to remain in US until an appeal. However, they still did not have a legal custodial right to E. and at that time should have returned him to his father when ordered and not put him through the ensuing mess. That they were negotiating demands and conditions I find inappropriate and they bear some responsibility for what happened. I think they overplayed their hand.
