What difference does it make if the MP-5 submachine gun was pointed at the kid or was off to the side a little? The effect is equally terrifying, I'm sure. Ripping him from the arms of people who had been loving him and taking care of him for 5 months was a terrorist act.

There was no need to fear the people down there. They were not "an angry mob" as the government insisted and the lapdog press obediently reported. The most subversive thing being done was a bunch of old ladies saying the rosary. The press has demonized the whole community. They've succeeded in portraying Miami as some kind of Banana Republic.

I guess you and a lot of other people think the ends justify the means. I hope someone is tallying up the laws that were broken.
