Why, it’s not like its a secret. The Agents worked for the US Border Patrol’s Tactical Unit known as BORTAC which at the time was under the DOJ/INS. They carried legally authorized warrants and executed the mission in under 2 minuets without anyone getting hurt.
They did not ask to be there, nor were they violating any laws. They had orders and warrants in hand and executed them without passion or politics. They did not know who was in the house and there was a real possibility of a riot breaking loose.
I don’t like communist or the Clintons but I actually believe Elian had to go for the sake of countless US citizens struggling to recover their children from around the world. If we had allowed him to stay we would be violating our own laws, treaties and policies in terms of family reunification.
If they're so proud of their handiwork they should want the public to know who they are.
A good rule of thumb for life is never participate in anything you'd be ashamed for the world to know you did.
What these guys did was pretty gutless. I should hope that they are troubled by it, but I doubt it.
I wish I could remember my latin but Horace (or Ovid - can't remember which)had a great quote. Basically it translated to - "The evil doer hates the light".
Very applicable in this instance.
If I remember correctly, they went to a substitute judge late at night for their warrants.
Amen to that.
