“A lot of FReepers thought it was swell when Janet Reno sent armed jack-boots to rip Elian Gonzales from his family’s arms in Miami to send him back to Hell, too. (Yes, they were family too.)”
No. I was here at the time, and I know how FR reacted. It seems you have as much problem with your memory as Amanda Knox does.
If you are saying FReepers lined up to keep Elian from being sent to Cuba, then you are the one with a faulty memory. There were a number of better exchanges and FReepers gone forever. A shocking number of otherwise good people sided with Castro.
