WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Reno Subpoenaed for Raid Documents NewsMax.com Thursday, June 8, 2000 WASHINGTON - The Senate Judiciary Committee today subpoenaed Attorney General Janet Reno for all documents on the heavily armed federal raid in Miami to seize 6-year-old Elian Gonzalez. It announced plans to subpoena the State Department also. ``We want everything, so if hearings aren't justified we won't hold them,'' said Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah. ``If they are, we will.'' Hatch called for a State Department subpoena after the public interest group Judicial Watch reported that the federal government collaborated with Cuba's dictatorship during the fight over Elian. ``These smoking-gun documents help prove what we've suspected, that the Clinton-Gore administration was doing the bidding of Fidel Castro when they raided the Gonzalez home using 151 armed federal agents,'' Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. Hatch said: ``I believe this modification is warranted so as to inform the Congress and the public of any involvement by the State Department and the Cuban government in the raid. If there was no such involvement, let's establish that. We will all be better served by getting the facts out.'' The State Department subpoena will be considered next week, Hatch said. Justice Department spokesman Carole Florman said, "We have complied with every request for documents, and they have had in their possession ... everything they are subpoenaing." Florman denied any coordination between U.S. officials and the Cuban regime. Judiciary Democrats had mixed reactions to the Justice Department subpoena. Sen. Robert Torricelli, D-N.J., said that exposing all the details would quash conspiracy theories. ``This will deflate, not inflate, the issue,'' he said. Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, the committee's ranking Democrat, argued that Republicans "once again transform this committee's oversight responsibility into a partisan opportunity." ``Senator Hatch is delighted to send out subpoenas. He's delighted to send letters. He's delighted to send staff members,'' Leahy said. ``The only thing he doesn't want to do is hold full-scale Elian hearings ... because the American people know what we know, that the child belongs with his parents.'' Hatch responded that armed assaults on private homes are ``not America." ``There are many people in our society who are very concerned with the way that house was assaulted: in the middle of the night in full combat gear, automatic or semiautomatic weapons drawn, the home trashed without any real mention in the court document that they were concerned about violence,'' Hatch said. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.
