Wouldn't you know that the church group that is trying to force that child back into a totalitarian nightmare is headed by a former Dem representative? .....“Raquel and Mariela are grateful for your love,” said the Rev. Bob Edgar, a former Democratic congressman and head of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., which sponsored the women's trip from Havana. Edgar thanked the church “for helping us this morning to pray for the quick and safe return of Elian Gonzalez. ... We think that a miracle can happen if we pray together.” Randy Naylor, a spokesman for the church group, said the two women would leave New York on Monday. He said they were “exhausted” and had no immediate plans for other appearances. The two women arrived in New York on Friday and met Saturday with U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno in Washington D.C. Elian was rescued from an inner tube on Thanksgiving Day after the boat in which he had left Cuba capsized. His mother, her boyfriend and nine others perished. The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service has ordered the boy returned to Cuba. His great-uncle has filed suit to stop the INS. And lawmakers in Congress plan an attempt this week to declare Elian a U.S. citizen. If such legislation becomes law, the boy no longer would be an immigrant under INS jurisdiction.... abcnews.go.com Any father or relative that wants that kid back in Cuba is guilty of child abuse. They are unfit.
