The pictures I saw coming out of Miami beginning April 22 were absolutely shocking as I witnessed, through those pictures, the "storm troopers" knocking down the doors of a peaceful home in the darkness of night to capture a child who would have been given up through additional, though difficult, circumstances to his father.

Janet Reno said she had reason to believe there were guns in the home, and this is the reason she gave for breaking down the doors.Think what might have happened if there had been guns in the home and use of gunfire would have taken place -- killing innocent people and possibly Elian.

Janet Reno was lucky, but she is a poor attorney general. Witness Waco and Ruby Ridge. She is nothing more than a weak-spirited lackey of President Clinton. This action is something I could expect to happen in Cuba, certainly not the United States.
