The appeals court also refused Reno's request for a change of custody. She has never claimed the uncle was mistreating the boy. She hasn't adequately explained why it was necessary to move when she did. The uncle claims to have evidence that the father called him from Cuba last October asking him to take care of his boy. If that's true does that make the thing a little less cut and dried for you? If it's true why did he change his mind? Is he being coerced? Has anyone asked him? The uncle is lying? Well That's why we have courts, to try to tease out the truth. This is a custody battle. There are two sides. There are facts in dispute. What business does the Federal Executive have taking sides in a custody dispute? If it were granted to me the exclusive power to decide what do do with Elian, I honestly don't know what I'd decide. I wouldn't make an immediate knee jerk decision like Clinton/Reno. And I'd feel compelled to explain my reasons, unlike Clinton/Reno.
