I don't know why I keep offering you plausible alternatives to your conclusions. They don't seem to make a dent. But here's another one, anyway. After all, why did our government change its initial position and not allow the case to be handled in family court? Politics, pure and simple. It's not unusual for some political, in the heat of a breaking situation, to say something off the cuff or after consultation with a bunch of trusted fellow politicals, after which their civil-servant General Counsels and their civil-servant program minions finally get their ears and tell them the right answer. Then the minions get to find some way to frame things so the boss doesn't look like a complete idiot. Happens all the time. This one could have happened that way, as well. I know it's not as much fun as a conspiracy between Clinton and Castro, but it's at least as likely a scenario. At the very least, it has to give you reasonable doubt. Karen
