1. Really, the point can not be known. I will admit that the Miami family can't prove that Juan want's Elian to stay in the US, jsut as Juan can't prove that he is acting on his own, not as a puppet. Endless arguement here supported by speculation and character assasination. 2.The INS had decided on November 30 that they would leave it to the family courts in Florida to decide whether or not returning Elian to Cuba would be in his best interests. Asked why the Justice Dept. had later switched to the position that he should be returned to his father, Janet Reno said that at the time INS made that decision, the father had not expressed his wishes on the matter and that when he subsequently did so, the INS was obliged to respect his wishes. That is one of many lies that senior U.S. officials have told in discussing their handling of this case. On Nov. 29, the Miami Herald reported that the father and the Cuban government had demanded that Elian be returned to Cuba. They had filed a complaint with the United Nations to call attention to this demand. The Miami relatives say that their telephone records prove that Juan Miguel called them on Nov. 22 to tell them that his wife and son had left Cuba for Florida. He did nothing to stop them. This suggests that the demand that the boy be sent back to Cuba was not his idea. It was certainly not his idea to complain to the United Nations. 3. This is an issue or the judge wouldn't have raised it today.

"horrible places to live" Gina, one need not even leave our shores. East L.A. is one example. Rodney King or Reginald Denny will tell you all about it.
