Help me! Do I read this correct. Bush promoted an INS guy who really loved grabbing the boy and helped in sending him to a commie country. Or am I reading it wrong.

You read it wrong.

This guy only jackbooted a newsman outside the residence.

Dude...I'm pissed at this promotion.

But, do you really and truly believe that Bush personally promotes, or even reviews, promotions and transfers of every single low-level bureaucrat in every government agency?

This is the kind of crap that makes Larry look loke an idiot to thinking people.

Pure "National Enquirer" journalism by JW, they have something solid going on, and they still can't keep themselves from looking like idiots.

Wallis admitted, under examination by Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman, that the “proudest moment of his life” was captured in an Associated Press photograph of INS Supervisory Special Agent Gwenn Reed holding a shotgun to the head of a prone and “spread-eagle” protestor – Mario Miranda – during the illegal INS raid to return young Elian Gonzalez to Communist Cuba.

Oops. This is the deed of the Bush-bot.

That's the way I read it to. Odd.

From the BBC News site, Friday April 7, 2000, snipped from an article entitled Cubans threaten Miami disruption:

Reno meeting

He is to meet Attorney General Janet Reno on Friday. There are reports that she will try to persuade him to travel to Florida if necessary to persuade the relatives there to hand Elian over to his father.




The US authorities want Elian returned to his father

The government intends that father and son should remain together in Washington pending the final outcome of the case.

But a leader of the Cuban exile community in Miami, Ramon Saul Sanchez, said Mr Gonzales should talk directly to the relatives in Florida and decide with them what was best for Elian's future.

Robert Wallis, Miami director of the INS, said his department had gone to "extraordinary lengths" to resolve the dispute during negotiations with the relatives.

"We still hope for an orderly process for reuniting Elian with his father," Mr Wallis said.

"The opportunity to ensure this orderly process rests squarely with the relatives in Miami."
