<<Elian's experience of America at this point has about as much reality as a trip to Fantasyland and he has probably been coached a lot on what to say by the Miami relatives. How can he judge?>> Here's a little something about the infamous warrant CB was referring to- boortz.com Just a little information about the warrant that Clinton used in an attempt to justify the Saturday raid. The Federal District Judge in Miami who is handling the Elian matter is Michael Moore. He has full knowledge of the case. He would normally be the one who would issue the order or warrant allowing the Clinton posse to enter the home and seize Elian. Obviously Clinton didn?t want to go through Judge Moore to get his warrant. Perhaps that is because the allegations contained in the warrant were going to be lies --- and Judge Moore would figure that out in a heartbeat. So, the Clinton posse waited until after 7:00 Friday night when they could go to some federal duty magistrate who had no familiarity with the case and get him to sign the warrant. The warrant said that Elian was "concealed" in the house. He was not. The warrant also said that Elian was an "illegal alien." Again, he was not. A federal court had already ruled that Elian had applied for asylum and, thus, was not an "illegal."

I talked with someone last night who says that in Cuba a child is placed in a boarding school at the age of 8, and that we actually are sending Elian back to Castro, not his father, that there are no parental rights there. My knowledge of life in Cuba is not very great. My knowledge of life in Cube isn't very great either, but I'd tend to doubt the accuracy of what you were told. Boarding school for all kids sounds way too expensive a scheme for a Communist country to afford, even if the schools are dumps. From what I've heard of life in the former USSR or in Red China, this wasn't/isn't true there. So many people interested in the Elian situation have a political axe to grind and politics is the enemy of truth.
