Michael, where is the 'snuggling up to a communist dictator '? ... i must have missed this ... never saw anybody suggest that Castro was other than an old dictator whose time was quickly passing, never saw anybody say he should have custody of Eli n ... all i ever noticed were two parties vying for custody - Eli n's father Juan Miguel, and his great-uncle L zaro ... but this is so cool, this 'snuggling up' ... you know, if you could score photographic evidence of it, you could get major bucks out of a Starr Chamber revival.Politics should have stayed out of it. " - No kidding. That's been the position of Juan Miguel all along ... in his words, 'Que se dejen la pol¡tica'.The boys father should have flown into Miami " - He doesn't appear to me to have suicidal tendencies, so i doubt we'll see this .. he just wanted his son back, so he went to the capital.and went to family court " - They don't have jurisdiction ... family court is a state thing, right? .. in Canada it is provincial, in M‚xico estatal, so i expect in the US it is state ... it has jurisdiction over citizens of the country and landed inmigrants with papers, but not over aliens ... aliens are a federal matter, and i understand the INS is the federal agency who handles them ... which is exactly what they did in this case.Clinton and Janet Reno ... vilified the relatives " - Gee, i must have missed this too ... all i ever saw was the relatives vilifying themselves with their bellicose statements in support of their ridiculous position that their rights outweighed those of Eli n's father.Free societies don't make decisions like dictatorships " - Interesting theory ... one hopes that one day we shall find a truly free society from which we may procure evidence to test it.
