It does seem to me that Clinton would need more than a legal opinion and some mid-level judge's opinion regarding the final disposition of Elian, before ordering what amounted to kidnapping at gunpoint. A Congress with some spine might have had something to say about this.
Clinton counted on people not wanting to take a stand on this case. It worked for him.
Too bad.
The list of people that crossed clinton and wound up dead was probably pretty convincing.
You know the list that Monica gave to Linda Tripp to try to keep her quiet.
Not to mention Katleen Wiley's dead cat and slashed tires and mysterious jogger with threats.
Not to mention Waco.
Not to mention what was done to the witness to Foster's car at Fort Marcy park.
Etc., Etc., Etc.

Friend of CASTRO President CLINTON used National TV to play upon the feelings of a 50 percentile of American families who are divorced with his...
"A father has a right to be with his son, a son has a right to be with his father"
...propaganda routine.
In so doing, Friend of FIDEL CASTRO President CLINTON thusly brought family custody
issues in on a Little ELIAN case that was really about Freedom vs. Communism, and not about a Father/Son custody battle at all.
HILLARY is now doing exactly the same thing with America's high rate of single mothers in her run for the 1st Woman Presidency in U.S. History.
No wonder HILLARY mouthpiece and fellow Friend of FIDEL CASTRO Senator BOXER has been all over HILLARY's potential 2008 Presidential woman adversary CONDI RICE on National TV the last 2 weeks..?
