But the only way to transfer Elian from his great-uncle to his father would appear to be by sending federal marshals through the throng of protesters around Lazaro Gonzalez's home in Little Havana, and that's an option for which Reno appears to have little stomach - an impression underscored by increasingly vocal and public criticism from inside the Justice Department of her handling of the case.

Two helicopters hovered overhead, and McCain's bus had to park well out of the way to avoid running into the throng.
