Frank, there was a search warrant. What more do you want?

You don't know your history. Go read up on the Nazi regime before making these absurd comparisons. If this were anything like Nazi Germany, Lazaro and his daughter would have been beaten and hung from a meathook. Exaggerations of this nature insult the (few) survivors of Nazi Germany.

>You, if reasonable, would find it difficult to defend storm trooper tactics. Not at all in this case!!!!!! >I don't disagree that the child should be with his father but, in America, he deserved his day in court. Frank, excuse me but this is a bunch of BS. The child deserved to be in his father's arms from day one of this fiasco. And please leave the court crap out... > In short, I don't think the issue is who should have the boy. This IS the issue! >The bigger issue is is this the kind of America we want. Start another SI thread if u want about this issue. This is the Elian thread! >Would our government have shot the fisherman or any of the other people last night if they would have resisted? I sure hope so! It is to their credit that they did not and it took them 3 minutes to do this! They clearly had the element of surprise...if they did not, these people would not have let them to take Elian without bloodshed.

Frank, you do realize that a good lawyer could conceivably have dragged this matter for two years before a final court judgement would have been rendered. Without including the appeal process, which would have prolonged the matter further. Are you suggesting that the boy be kept from his father during this period??? If you want your day in court, well, I have no problemo with that. Meanwhile, let the loving father raise his son and not a tattooed fisherman and some moistened tw@t.
