The average home is about 1500 sq. feet. While 1200 sq. feet is smallish, it isn't particularly tiny. From what I've seen of the Miami house, both inside and outside, it looks to be between 800 to 1000 sq. feet. Cozy for 2 adults, and adequate for 2 adults and 1 child; but too cramped for for 3 adults and 1 child, especially when the child has to share a bedroom with an adult of the opposite sex.

In the 'house tour' video on CNN the Saturday after the raid, Marisleysis brought the cameraman and reporter into her bedroom, and showed two beds, a broken youth bed she said was Elian's, and her own, which was either another youth bed, or perhaps a twin size -- the camera didn't stay on it long enough to really tell. But what WAS obvious was that the room couldn't have been much larger than perhaps 9 x 12, and that Elian's bed, pushed up against the far wall, had to have been abutting Marisleysis' bed, perhaps maybe a few inches separating the two. In this 'house tour' video, we never see a TV in this room...since Marisleysis makes a big deal regarding the INS 'breaking' Elian's bed, one would think a TV in that room wouldn't have fared too well. Yet in the Washington Post article, The Janitor waxes nostalgically about the time he and Elian were lying on Elian's bed watching "The Lion King" and Elian, mimicing the lions in the cartoon, repeatedly licked The Janitor... If his recall of this event is true, it would seem that a TV and VCR was specifically brought into this tiny, cramped room just for that one occasion, raising the question of why Elian and The Janitor couldn't enjoy watching the cartoon out in the livingroom with everyone else, and instead were sequestered away for that occasion... > I don't think there's a sexual connection there, Between Elian and Marisleysis, probably not. But I'm not so sure about Elian and The Janitor Who Would Be Fisherman... > but I do wonder if the two were mutually dependent... Considering Marisleysis' father's drinking problems, plus the drinking problem of one of Lazaro's brothers; plus the long record of armed robberies of two of his other brothers (who have been part of the milieu milling about the house ever since Elian came on the scene), this is definitely one dysfunctional family. And as is common in a dysfunctional family where substance abuse is involved, one member is usually placed into the role of 'savior', while another is cast into the role of 'black sheep'. I don't know who fulfilled these roles before the Elian saga began, but when Elian arrived, he became the perfect 'savior' for them; and the federal gov't then provided a convenient scapegoat, a perfect black sheep (alleviating the pressure on whomever was the 'black sheep' in this family before)... A great portion of their emotional energy in trying to retain and regain custody of Elian is probably due to the need of certain members not to be put under the pressure of their old roles of saviour/blacksheep, a desire to keep the convenient and easy pressure valves of 'savior' Elian and 'blacksheep' U.S. government/Cuban government/Fidel Castro/Juan Miguel Gonzalez...

Re: [CTRL] Alien Elian

According to Marisleysis' version of reality, Elian had conveniently awoken from his night's sleep some time before the raid, and so presumably got dressed, and then joined an adult cousin of Marisleysis' (who has remained nameless thru this whole thing) and the cousin's 5 year old (we are never told whether this child is a boy or girl, nor where this child slept the night just ending) on a couch in the livingroom to presumably watch TV. We are told The Janitor was sleeping on another couch -- in the 'house tour' video, both he and Marisleysis indicate a couch which was then just under the window against the front wall; but in subsequent accounts, we are told that the couch was pushed up against the front door.

And make no mistake, every politician down there is afraid of the Cuban vote (one-third of the population, and probably critical in any election outcome since they seem to vote as a block). Having lived down there, I feel (but could never prove) that most Miami Cubans are afraid to speak out against the supposed Cuban "leaders" there.

Re: [CTRL] Alien Elian
Marisleysis has a job. I don't know anything about the others, but she's been on temporary leave to take care of Elian. I'd like to know who is paying the dear Mr. Craig (that's the father's lawyer's name, right?) Since Craig is such a good friend of Billy boy Clinton's maybe he's doing him a favour.

If you saw the 'house tour' video, Marisleysis breaks down in tears when she displays Elian's broken bed ("They broke his bed! They broke Elian's bed! Boo hoo hoo!"), which is right next to her bed in her bedroom that can't be bigger than 9 feet by 12... In her version of reality, Elian was sleeping in his room until shortly before the raid, when he supposedly awoke on his own...perhaps he had been in pajamas and perhaps she dressed him when he got up...perhaps that is what she was doing in 'the backroom' prior to the raid (altho she then claims Elian was in the livingroom on the couch with his 5 year old cousin when the INS entered...we are never told where the 5 year old cousin slept that night, nor what the cousin wore to sleep in)... But one would think Elian would have been in barefeet...why put shoes on him at 5 in the morning, when one would think that nothing more than breakfast and watching cartoons on TV was on Elian's agenda that morning? Especially since we are told that adults were still sleeping at that time, you'd think the last thing they'd do is put noisy footwear on a 6 year old...

Well, either they were just tuckered out from the days' events or they might have been getting ready to move. Ergo, the raid. How many operatives did the gov't have outside (or inside)? Now, about these 'rights', as in "Miranda". I have a coupla concerns. (1) Do non-citizens get the same 'rights' as those of us who by various means (birth right, citizenship, and the like) get the guarantees? (2) If they read the little feller his 'rights' (assuming as a non-American, refugee, asylum seeker, et cetera, he automatically gets Mirandised), would he be competent to make a rational decision therefrom? I awoke one morning in the past few week or so and was listening to NPR (that's an eye-opener!) and a woman attorney from Mpls/St P was almost speechless about the judge's decision to grant the little feller's asylum position DESPITE the fact he was just a 6 year old who had made an 'unrehearsed' video to his Papa. Who out there would give credence to a 6 y/old to be competent to make any decisions about the law much less how much meat, potatoes, and brussels sprouts he or she had to eat before dessert or TV? It may be just a technicality to go through the motions but to expect a youngster -- even an American one -- to be able to understand the implications is realy ssstttrreettcchhiinngg it. Even with Juicy Fruit gum. It seems that the government would be justified in taking the little feller to make SURE he was in the care of responsible adult supervision BEFORE confusing him with " ... you have the right to remain silent ..."

Donato did say on the air (live) > that if it wasn't for the gun pointed in his direction, he'd have NOT given the > kid up. But there's something that doesn't add up in their version... First off, the NBC cameraman claimed to be dozing on the floor right behind the front door... According to Marisleysis, they 'all' thought the initial sounds at the front door were the demonstrators, and claimed not to suspect it was the INS until it was too late... Well, who 'all', if Donato was sound asleep on the couch, only about 3 feet away from the door, and especially that cameraman who was right behind the door...? Then we are told that Donato awoke from a sound sleep, knew immediately what was going on, and made a flying leap across the living room to grab the wide- awake Elian off the couch on the opposite side of the room... Meanwhile, the NBC cameraman must have still been dozing, because according to his version, he was 'surprised' by the INS rushing through the door, so much so that he got knocked unconscious... Keep in mind that these are the same people who are now claiming the INS never knocked, and just broke down the door with no warning... To continue the discrepancy, Marisleysis in the 'home tour' video, at the beginning of her account of the events claims she was in either the bathroom, or 'back room', her accent made it hard to determine exactly which...but irregardless, she places herself somewhere other than the living room (where the NBC cameraman, Donato, Elian, and Marisleysis' adult cousin and the cousin's 5 year old child were), and the kitchen (where Lazalo and the lawyers were)... So where was the AP photographer before the INS came in? He is never mentioned in their account, although Marisleysis made it a point to inform us where everyone else was located at the moment the INS arrived... Perhaps the photographer was with Marisleysis in that 'back room', or 'bathroom' (which presumably is located in close proximity to her parents' bedroom, which could be the only room in that tiny house that could be referred to as a 'back room')... Which means that prior to the INS entering, supposedly taking them all by surprise, the AP photographer seems to have positioned himself in the most advantageous spot to be able to take the infamous picture... He would have had to have been in the room BEFORE Donato entered with Elian, because it is a tiny room, and he was positioned between the back wall, the bed, and the closet door, to be able to take that picture from that angle... unless we are to believe he followed the INS agent into the room and then jumped over the bed and into that corner to grab that picture... An unlikely scenario, because in the early versions of the picture we see another INS agent entering in the bedroom door, only a foot or so away from his comrade already in the room...it's unlikely that 2nd agent would have allowed the AP photographer to enter in immediately after the first agent... Another slip in Marisleysis' and Donato's account of events, and something which raises a question regarding their claim that Donato was fast asleep (does he look like someone who was just awakened from a sound sleep on a couch in the famous picture?), is that they claimed that they didn't know what was going on, because they heard banging on the BACK door. Now neither Marisleysis or Donato stated that Lazalo and the lawyers, sitting in the kitchen by that back door, said they heard banging; by her own account, Marisleysis said that she and Donato heard it... So here we have them claiming that Marisleysis was somewhere other than the kitchen or the livingroom, and that Donato was sound asleep on the couch, when they suddenly heard a loud noise at the front door. Marisleysis claims she rushed out to the livingroom just as Donato, roused from his deep slumber, immediately sizes up the situation and grabs Elian from the couch on the opposite side of the room, and makes a mad dash for her parents' bedroom... According to their account, this was done in a matter of seconds... So how did they personally know that INS agents were also at the back door... unless they first tried to make an escape out the backdoor, but realized that way was blocked, and fell back to the bedroom as a last resort...? And why the parents' bedroom, and not Elian's (and Marisleysis') bedroom? Could it be because they had set up the AP photographer in the parents' bedroom? It seems as if perhaps they'd discussed contingencies beforehand, agreeing that the first course of action, when and if the feds came, would be to try to escape out the back door; and barring that, they'd run with Elian into tha
Re: [CTRL] Alien Elian
Yeah, I heard it all from Donato on *Hannity & Colmes* (Fox) last night -- RIGHT after I posted the initial query. I think they expected (as I did, in all reality) that the protestors would serve as their 'human shield' and give them plenty of time to make a run for it. Donato did say on the air (live) that if it wasn't for the gun pointed in his direction, he'd have NOT given the kid up. As far as the flag is concerned (Prudy), I couldn't believe all the flags they had out there. It was like they did a midnight raid on the UN and got flags of all nations. They even had the Israeli flag flying on a pole. Why? Then there was the Spanish flag. Well, sorry to offend anyone, but if the Spanish had stayed home about five hundred years ago, none of this would be happening. One day I was flipping through my World Almanac just trying to figure out who's flag was out there. But I still don't get the Israeli one. I think the ripping up of the U.S. flag should put a few people on a return trip to the homeland. They got no flag left to hide behind.

Re: [CTRL] Alien Elian
From: "Alamaine" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hey! Was there any wordage as to *why* the little feller and the bigger feller > were in the closet to begin with? I had been led to believe that the raid > itself was somewhat of a surprise although predicted. This one detail leaves > me in appuzzlement ... A<>E<>R Yes, there does seem to be something fishy about the whole set up...according to their own words in the 'house tour' video after the raid, Marisleysis and Donato stated that not only were they and Maisleysis' father and mother there, but a cousin and the cousin's 5 year old kid, plus that AP photographer AND a cameraman from NBC (who presumably always join in slumber parties on their assignments?)... Now if you've seen the inside of that house, it's one damn small house to have all those people squeezed in (remember also that their legal team was there too, supposedly on the phone still 'negotiating')... So in that little house, which only has a kitchen, living room, 2 bedrooms and one bathroom, there were at least 8 or more adults, and at least 2 small children. In their version of what happened, Marisleysis and Donato claimed that as soon as the INS started banging on the front door, Donato 'woke up', ran across the room and snatched Elian from the couch he was on, and ran into Marisleysis' parents' bedroom, and tried to hide in the closet... But something DID slip out in their recounting of events, something I think they weren't aware they'd let slip...they both admitted to 'discovering' that INS agents were also trying to come in the back door... They could only know that if they tried to run out the back door themselves... so I think they made a split second decision to try to make a run for it by escaping out the back door, and when they discovered that way blocked, only then did Donato run into the back bedroom June http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
