4. Did anyone tell Peggy Noonan?
http://www.opinionjournal.com/columnists/pnoonan/?id=95000429


The great unanswered question of course is: What was driving Mr. Clinton? What made him do such a thing? What accounts for his commitment in this case? Concern for the father? But such concern is wholly out of character for this president; he showed no such concern for parents at Waco or when he freed the Puerto Rican terrorists. Concern for his vision of the rule of law? But Mr. Clinton views the law as a thing to suit his purposes or a thing to get around.

Why did he do this thing? He will no doubt never say, a pliant press will never push him on it, and in any case if they did who would expect him to speak with candor and honesty? Absent the knowledge of what happened in this great public policy question, the mind inevitably wonders.

(...)

Was Mr. Clinton being blackmailed? The Starr report tells us of what the president said to Monica Lewinsky about their telephone sex: that there was reason to believe that they were monitored by a foreign intelligence service. Naturally the service would have taped the calls, to use in the blackmail of the president. Maybe it was Mr. Castro's intelligence service, or that of a Castro friend.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to. A great and searing tragedy has occurred, and none of us knows what drove it, or why the president did what he did. Maybe Congress will investigate. Maybe a few years from now we'll find out what really happened.



Hey, Nooners, for the record--Clinton did it because it was the right thing to do.

And Peggy, if you're reading this, you can go back to fucking yourself.

8. He doesn't look any the worse for wear after being deprived of milk
and having to spend long, hot days cutting sugar cane.

(snip)

LINDA OSBERG-BRAUN, GONZALEZ FAMILY ATTORNEY:" …once he leaves, he will never be able to come back to the United States. The second thing we are also doing, we filed an emergency motion in the state court so to explore the custody issues, not only to in a forum that is prepared and qualified to evaluate Juan Miguel, but also evaluate whether or not it would be abuse to send Elian to Cuba where he will be fighting for milk rations, going to cut sugar cane and also working in the military, not to mention now that he's a global symbol of communism trying to prevail over democracy."

He was on 60 Minutes about a year or so ago and spoke about his experiences in the US and his Miami relatives. He has a girlfriend and seems really happy.

11. I am glad he seems happy.
That's what is important, not whose political system is "better."
