	The "Elian Gonzalez" religous movement
		The former is an innocent child, the latter a man whose boy was taken from him.
		Elian has behaved like a typical 6-year-old, Juan Miguel like a typical father.
		The media generally refers to this movement as the "Cult of Elian." We recommend that the word "cult" be used only under special circumstances, because of the many varied meanings to the term.

	Remembering Elian Gonzalez by Scott Holleran -- Capitalism Magazine
		I knew that asserting Elian's right to stay in America would require a defense of individual rights, the core, founding principle of the United States of America--and that there could be no better test of the nation based on individual rights than how it treats the individual, particularly when the individual is a child.
		Elian's fate, I knew, would leave an indelible mark on America's future, and, looking back, it has--Americans failed to rally around the liberation of an individual child from communism and proved that America, where so-called group rights routinely triumph over individual rights, is steeped in collectivism.
		There were American voices pleading for Elian's asylum, though they were either ignored by the media, eager to depict the defiant auto mechanic and his 21-year old daughter as the archvillians, or they were drowned out by Cuban exiles in Miami, who failed to mount a principled defense of Elian's individual rights.

	ElianWatch
		When Elian turns 11 he will be required to "devote 30 to 45 days of [his] summer vacation to farm work." If Elian is lucky enough to work for a foreign employer, he will see a pitance of what the employer will pay for his work.
		For seven months Elian lived in a country where he was considered a human being, not some "symbol" or an "example" (to use the words of the Cuban government today) of a revolutionary idea opposing American imperialism.
		Elian's lawyers say the ruling "determined that the courts could review the decisions of federal agencies if they were based only on informal policies, not formal regulations." If the documents discovered by JudicialWatch are any indication, deciding to return Elian to Cuba was an informal process (with coordination with the Cuban government).

		The decision that Elian is entitled to a day in court -- specifically a May 11 INS asylum appeal hearing -- argues against his immediate transfer to his father.
		As such, he is as qualified to comment on Elian's state of mind as a psychologist is to treat him for chicken pox.

		Elian was grabbed by a female federal agent, wrapped in a blanket and rushed outside to a waiting van.
		The Miami Gonzalez family repeatedly welcomed Juan Miguel to their home or some other safe, neutral place, but sought assurances that Elian’s right to his day in court would not be trampled under by a Clinton regime anxious to please the Castro regime.

	CNN.com - US - Elian Gonzalez and family back on Cuban soil - June 28, 2000
		Elian Gonzalez is back in Cuba after a seven month odyssey that took him across the Florida Straits and landed him in an international custody dispute.
		Elian and his entourage arrived at Dulles in a five-car caravan with a police motorcade.
		Elian was whisked from his relatives' home there by armed federal agents in a predawn raid April 22, to be turned over to his father in Washington.

	Court TV Online - U. S. - Elian Gonzalez
		WASHINGTON (AP) —; Attorney General Janet Reno said today that agents seizing Elian Gonzalez had to have a "show of force, not a use of force, to show we were in control." A psychiatrist who examined the 6-year-old Cuban boy said it's likely he suffered no lasting harm from the armed raid.
		Psychiatrists aligned with Elian's Miami relatives challenged Kernberg's conclusions and said the 2 1/2 hours she spent with him were not enough to judge his state of mind.
		Although Marisleysis Gonzalez has characterized her relationship to Elian as that of a surrogate mother, Kernberg said Elian may have a schoolboy crush on her.

		Elian Gonzalez and his family are now en route to Cuba after taking off on a chartered flight from Dulles International Airport in Virginia, bringing to a close a seven-month legal and political drama.
		In a brief, two-sentence statement, the court rejected a request by Elian's Miami relatives for a political asylum hearing on the boy's behalf and refused to extend the injunction requiring him to stay in the United States.
		Elian was at the center of a legal tug of war between his father and his Miami relatives since he was found clinging to an inner tube on Thanksgiving Day.

		Elian was taken to Miami, where relatives gained custody of him.
		After the U.S. Supreme Court refused to block his repatriation, federal agents seized Elian in a raid on the relatives' Miami home, and he was returned to Cuba with his father.

		Elian's mother and father were divorced and he was living with his mother before he left Cuba by boat on November 22, 1999.
		If Elian Gonzalez does have PTSD, in theory it could have been present prior to his leaving Cuba, but prior to his departure there are no publicly known stressful events sufficient to cause PTSD.
		Elian is highly susceptible for recruitment and training as a terrorist or an anti-U.S. ideologist and propagandist.

		Lazaro Gonzalez will have to show by clear and convincing evidence that Elian's father is an unfit parent, and he cannot prove that Elian's father is an unfit parent simply because he is a Cuban who wants to raise his children in Cuba.
		Elian is being harmed by the delay in returning him to his father and his grandmothers.
		Elian was rescued at sea, but instead of being immediately returned to his father in Cuba as international law required, custody of the child was arbitrarily given to his distant relatives who reside in the United States.

		Elian's grandmothers, Mariela Quintana (left) and Raquel Rodriguez, spent nine days in the US unsuccessfully lobbying for his return to Cuba.
		Elian's father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez, flew to the US on 6 April, accompanied by his wife and baby son, to take Elian back home.

	Elian Gonzalez - page five
		Elian is heading home because his father is there, and because the United States after much soul-searching recognized that nothing¾neither election-year worries in a politically important state, nor our troubled history with Cuba, nor even our Constitutional guarantees¾are more fundamental than the bond between parent and child.
		Juan Gonzalez may not be able to give his son an independent press or freedom of religion, but he can be a parent to Elian.
		Elian’s return to the arms of his father will be a small victory for the much-touted notion of “family values” that American politicians love to bandy about.

		Gonzalez is the father of six-year old Elian, the boy found hanging onto an inner-tube in the Florida straits on Thanksgiving Day, after the boat carrying his mother, his stepfather, and ten others sank.
		Gonzalez is free to go to Miami, just as Havana is free to intimidate, harass, and torture his island-bound family as soon as he does.
		If Elian Gonzalez had been fleeing Iraq or Apartheid-era South Africa, it is unthinkable that the Clinton Administration would have sent him back to Saddam Hussein or P. Botha.
