It was BORTAC, the Border Patrol's equivelent to a SWAT team theat ended up going isnide the house to get Elian Gonzales. I'm not exactly a big fan of BORTAC or SWAT teams, however I'm interested in knowing how you would have handled the situation. Imagine yourself prior to the event. You get a page to meet in a certain area. You are told that your are going to have to go into a hostile situation that may erupt into violence involving firearms and numerous demonstrators. Your mission is to extract a Cuban illegal immigrant who's father is still in Cuba. What are you going to do?

You have essentially posed two questions in your hypothetical. You start out by asking how I would have handled the situation, indicating that I have input and choice. But since there is no choice in what follows, then I follow my orders and go in.
