The one year time span should have been adhered to, but that was a decision which had to be made at higher political levels. It was disregarded in favor of an expedient abuse of police powers, and I still believe the raid was disgusting. Admittedly, the officers at the lower ranks could not have raised such an issue, as their role was limited to "only following orders."

Surely you jest!

Refusal/resignation was certainly an option.

Remember Nuremburg?

I tend to agree with you. I would have liked to see someone stand up for Elian, but when people are showing up in your driveway threatening you, I can see why the rank and file would pass on making waves.
