>If anything could be more shocking than the prospect that a 6-year-old Cuban refugee is being drugged on U.S. soil while U.S. authorities pretend to be oblivious, it's the refusal of the American media to cover the story.< What is shocking about medicating a kid? All the kids in my son's special ed class are medicated except my son- and sh*t, they even wanted to medicate him. Those little boys are automatons- they aren't even happy automatons. I say GIVE us those happy drugs you gave to Elian- that little American boys might be so happy. Clearly we are giving inferior drugs to OUR children. I've got to say that this facet of the issue borders on lunacy. Firstly, parents have the right to medicate their kids if they want to. It generally isn't considered "drugging" (unless of course you've got an axe to grind- then that "drugging" word comes in handy). Secondly, we don't even KNOW the kid had any drugs. But if he DID his father and doctor had every right to give him some.

Hi Michael, Articles are ok, but I'd be lots more interested in YOUR thoughts and some give and take. I took some time to poke around newsmax and AIM when they started showing up here as "reliable" sources, and found them to have a very biased political viewpoint, bordering on manipulative, and even, in the case of newsmax, inaccurate by omissions. So while they may offer a different slant on a situation, to rely on them to form the basis of your own opinion and to keep posting them as if they were gospel without making comments of your own, well-- I'd rather hear your own interpretation based on a wider assortment of material, rather than thinking you are swallowing party line without considering alternative interpretations, or that you have decided on your stand, and now look only to back it up with anything that fits. Something I have never thought of you as doing.

"....traumatic April 22 abduction at gun point from the home of his Miami relatives....." What are you people smoking? The cops deliver a victim from his kidnappers and you call the cops criminals. YOU PEOPLE ARE MENTALLY TWISTED. At what point did you lose your ability to reason? PS - Michael quit using my name to respond with your bullshit posts. I will be testing the ignore feature on SI. You have the honor of being the subject of my test.
