Yogi, what evidence? If you are talking about the statements of the exile Cubanos I say look at the source.

How do you know an agreement was near? Just because the Miami relatives said so, doesn't make it so. What is so difficult about turning over a child to his father? You agree on a spot and turn him over. They had ample time to do that and say their proper goodbyes to Elian. Why do you call Juan Migel one of the biggest cowards you've ever seen? Please explain? Perhaps he just wants to get back to his simple life in Cuba and just forget that all this ever happened, or perhaps he is worried about relatives back home? But, why do you call him a coward?

settlement was almost reached? Why do you say that? Seems to me that the family kept changing their demands. No settlement can be reached by the DOJ given a long term showing of bad faith by the family. As to the Father being a coward? Who cares? Some of the best fathers in the world are cowards. Anyway, you have no basis to conclude that. And frankly, I don't belive it and it sound as thou it were said as an insult. You show no facts of the father's cowardness; if anything, he seems quite tolerant patient, given the extreme postition and politicalization by the family of son's situation. If I had been the father, I would have asked for the police to take the boy away from the extended family faster than Reno did. It was to me a clear case of kidnaping by the family with a "come and get him, if you dare" attitude.
