There were a couple of other things in that article that were a little surprising:

1) "If Elian returns to Cuba, he apparently will be housed in a state
school for at least three months by a regime that considers children its
property. Fidel Castro has promised as much. "

2) "Cuba’s "diplomats" in Washington–they staff an
"interests section," and not an embassy–are a notably thuggish
lot. A few days before the Miami raid, a dozen of them emerged from their
building to beat up anti- Castro protesters, men and women, who were
demonstrating on a public sidewalk. Federal police who were guarding the
building actually had to intervene. "
