Steven, res- I do not see how returning a child to his father constitutes jumping into bed with the leader of the country where the child's father lives. If the Germans returned the children of that American father, would they be jumping into bed with Clinton?

I thought I made this clear in previous posts. It wasn't so much the outcome but the process by which the outcome was achieved. Castro was given more support and consideration than the American relatives living in Miami. And I believe it should have been the other way around.

The relatives shouldn't have been vilified, mocked then had their fourth amendment rights infringed upon because of Castro. And make no mistake, the only reason the administration acted the way they did was for political purposes. Otherwise, this custody dispute like thousands of others would have been handled in the calm of a courtroom, instead of behind the barrel of automatic weapons.

Law abiding Americans involved in a very unusual emotional event should be given more consideration than a communist tyrant, who's policies were the cause of the incident to begin with.
