So, Mr. Buchanan, what about Elian?

[rc-am]

Has there been anything written on this stuff in terms of children's rights?
Legally, it seems to turn on the fact that Elian is a minor, the notion of
custodianship, etc, not to mention that this enhances all the iconic stuff
about innocence, protection, and so on?  Anything been written about it on
these issues?  Or, has it tended to be more about Cuba v US, Papa Fidel v the
Virgin Birth?
