I'm sure there was at least subliminal pressure, if not overt pressure. The
mother isn't going to come right out and say her
daughter hated Castro, is she?
But there was something in her account that rang true...she really seems to
feel her daughter was apolitical, and was happy in her
job. So if the daughter, Elian's mother, really was apolitical, then one
does have to ask what prompted her to get on that boat?

As was the NYC metro area where I live...and I well remember the 'duck and
cover' A-bomb drills we were put thru in school, because my hometown, being
the site of two major military contractors, was considered a prime target,
too.
Do I 'trust' Castro? No. But I don't trust most of our own politicians,
either.
But that matters not a whit in this case. What matters is returning a child
to his father, irregardless of the politician we don't trust who's in
charge.

Your 12-gauge would be worthless against a cyberstalker, someone who you
probably don't even have the correct name for, let alone
know where they live...

FYI, listening to the Rivera show on CNBC as I type this, lawyer Gerry
Spence just said that international law states that the child
should be given back to the father...
