...that his police won't help enforce the law if the time comes to deliver Elian to his dad. Miami-Dade, which is 40% Cuban, suddenly looked like a rogue republic in the Everglades. And Al Gore--plainly campaigning for Cuban-American votes--broke with Clinton and Attorney General Janet Reno by siding with the exiles who want to keep Elian in the U.S. Says University of Miami sociologist Max Castro: "Try as it may, the U.S. can't escape the jihad of Cuban politics...
...though, U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno is just glad the cybersheriff is on the case. While crimes such as e-mail fraud, trade-secret hacking and child pornography are generally considered the province of federal authorities, they are so prevalent today that the Justice Department and FBI are outmanned.

"Each passing day," Moore wrote, "is another day lost" between Juan Miguel and Elian...
...While the issue may have some hope of catching steam at the federal level, it doesn't seem likely to take its place alongside school vouchers and trigger locks as major campaign issues. Both Janet Reno and Madeleine Albright have mentioned it as a growing crisis in recent weeks, but neither looks poised to make it one of their top issues. The Times story quotes one anonymous government official who seemed to sum up the feds' attitude toward the issue: "We have hundreds and hundreds of government analysts looking at drugs, arms, economic issues, but hardly anyone on this...
