I wouldn't have handed him over either.

Notice how Juan Gonzales has been shielded from anyone who might encourage him to ask for asylum? The last thing the Clinton administration would want to happen would be that. The U.S government wanted Elian back with Juan soon enough to make sure that Elian wouldn't ask for asylum at the scheduled hearing. Actually, I'd be surprised if it even goes as far as an asylum hearing now, and I wouldn't be a bit surprised for Elian to be headed back to Cuba within a week or two. This wasn't about custody or parental rights or rule of law; it was about foreign policy and Clinton lost that battle with Castro months ago if Clinton even put up a fight at all.

If I'm not mistaken, children in Cuba are possessions of the State. Property. Slavery is not extinct. The Mason-Dixon line is just a little farther south than it used to be. I wouldn't have betrayed the kid and I'm not Cuban-rich, old, expatriate, or otherwise.

And I have never been so sickened, disgusted, infuriated, and shamed by the United States as I was by that Gestapo action that took place in Miami. This is the first time in my entire life that I have ever felt like burning an American flag; just one more miracle accomplished by Clinton and Company.
