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."

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.
