Yes.
Elian had been rescued by two fishermen on Thanksgiving Day in 1999, floating alone off the coast of Florida. His mother had drowned during their attempted escape from Cuba.
He was placed with relatives in Miami, but his father -- with the backing of former Cuban President Fidel Castro -- began an campaign to have the boy sent home to Cuba.
Elian told Simon what he remembered about the raid. "When they said I was going to see my father, at that moment, then I felt joy that I could get out of that house."
I find no reference to cheering except in Cuba.
The intrigue is a fact we might revisit soon enough:
"This is a frightening event, that American citizens now can expect that the executive branch on their own can decide on whether to raid a home," said House Republican whip Tom DeLay of Texas.
No, I didn't cheer.
