five-month saga of the 6-year-old boy from cuba takes a dramatic turn. in the little havana section in miami four or five minivans swooped down on the modest home of lazaro gonzalez, approximately two dozen federal agents with them and they used a battering ram to gain access to the home, shortly thereafter carried elian gonzalez, the 6-year-old boy carried into the white van you see there. >> now that little boy you see in the arms of that agent is 16 years old and not surprising, attending a cuban military academy. no custody battle. no tv crews and no raids from the bedroom. cnn's shasta darlington reports. >> reporter: you probably remember the face, elian gonzalez, the cuban rafter boy at the heart of a politically charged custody battle. he's not so little anymore. elian, now 16 attends a cuban military academy. he joined the union of communist youth vowing to follow the example of fidel and raul castro. elian was just 5 when a smuggler's boat headed to the united states flipped over and killed his mother. he was found clinging to an innertube and handed over to relatives in sout

. he came to this country in 1962 from cuba as part of the peter pan program and became an american citizen in 1968. i asked him what he thought of the bill. and he told me, you know, he's a big baseball fan. he said what if i go to arizona to see the diamondbacks play and i go to the game and i forget my i.d.? i've been an american citizen for 42 years. yet i speak with a spanish accent and look very pspanish. what happens to me if i'm stopped without proof of identification on me? obviously, a lot of people are not too supportive of this. i talked to several people from h mera costa college. we talked earlier, you have some strong sentiments about this senate bill and it becoming a law. >> yes, i do. i'm completely against it. i think that anytime you have a law that gives so much power to the state and singles out a group, it's dangerous and it sends the wrong message to the community. i myself am an immigrant. i came in 1985 to the united states. and since then, i've earned a high school education. i have a bachelor's degree and two master degrees. all of it comes from the suppo

, daughter of fidel castro, and we'll talk to her about what she sees in cuba, she's now an american living here in the united states as a citizen. loves freedom and realizes that the ideas of let's passuality around is not -- wealth around is not all it's cracked up to be. >> neil: we're getting a warning. waiting to hear from governor brewer and governor huckabee is kind enough to stay, actually he doesn't have a choice. guess what, you're staying. >> yeah. >> there's a flip side of this is that there will be the racist charges that you're pulling people off the rod -- road because they look hispanic or foreign so they look illegal. and -- >> that's my concern. that's why the lawsuit will pour in. the first time you have a bona fide third generation american citizen who gets pulled over for documentation and the perfectly european looking white person doesn't get stopped and turns out he's a british citizen, it will be one lawsuit bonanza za that's inevitable. what is the means by which they pull someone over? >> you have to profile everyone or no one or you have to have problemmable caus

c.e.o. of kellogg how long did you live in mexico and when did you come to the u.s. from cuba? guest: we came out of cuba in 1960 and went to miami for a little while, two years, where we stayed in a hotel. my father thought it was going to be a vacation because this man cannot stay. then we moved to new york and became u.s. citizens. then he got a job in mexico with heinz company, food company. that is how we ended up in mexico. i went to junior high school and high school in mexico. but the interesting thing is, because i was naturalized, when my son was born -- it just highlights the plight of an immigrant and refugee. when my son was born i needed to be in in the u.s. 10 years after the date of my 16th birthday. so i took his application to the desk at the embassy and said i want my son to be a u.s. citizen. i only had eight years. so i walked out without a pass support. it took me 14 years to eventually make my son a u.s. citizen. because of the little quirk in the law. my other daughter was born in the u.s., then my other daughter, we went back to mexico, she was born in

attacked us. he should look at it like, kind of like cuba, they really got worked up during the 1960's but cuba did not try to attack us. we should definitely still focus on the set tuition with iraq and afghanistan and those countries. we don't want to make more enemies than we have already. host: do you think iran having nuclear capability, having nuclear weapons -- previous caller said he bought they would use it to bully other countries in the region. what do you think? caller: i don't think that will happen. north korea has them and i don't think they'd use it to take over other countries quite recently. russia has been in the situation where they when she went in that condition with georgia and we kind of overlooked that burst of looking at the real perspective of iran. i think more negotiations with nuclear control should be made with iran and understanding of that control. too much of that a thing would end up with a bad conditions with more countries than we have to. we don't need to many negative ramifications against the united states. host: we will continue taking your phone ca

bay cuba to say illinois? with the transfer of a location create more rights for the detainee than if they were left at guantÁnamo bay? >> that is a question that i think is has not really been answered yet. it is one we are not sure about. i think certainly as an advocate i would argue that there are not other rights that would necessarily ascertain but it is not clear how the courts are going to rule. >> i think that is a very good point in this is a situation where congress could help give the courts clarity. is that correct? >> i think that is correct. >> as a matter fact judge lambert at hogan has been in their habeas corpus and in that asking for congressional help and even reading those opinions. i have never seen a judge so open about congress because of if they detainee has ordered release by the judge tejeda be as petition is granted, what happens next? do we have to release the united states if we can't find a third country, what do we do with them? >> there is no requirement they be released into the united states invents those instances where we have decided not to appea

digital currency platform, mainly visa's. in other countries like haiti, cuba, visa is in discussions with government entities on establishing similar infrastructure to the one in pakistan. we are eager and committed to replicate our success in pakistan so financially underserved people can access their resources quickly, continually, and securely. while i am hardly modest about our own ambitions, the fact is that the digital currency space rapidly becoming more competitive with new entrants are around the world developing smart new tools to transfer value. that competition is a bible and healthy part of the digital currency you pollution. -- evolution. it brings me to the issue what role government can and should play in the future of electronic payments. protecting their market-based competition is clearly an important role that government should play. enforcing laws on the books and injuring an environment in which small upstarts and established players can compete on a level playing field ultimately benefits all stakeholders. a corollary to that principle is that government must r

based on satellite and the regime couldn't stop it so they turned to the castro regime in cuba and there is a satellite station in cuba that promptly blocked the satellites so the satellite would see recently decapitated the move. so this left me with this idea that perhaps the most effective things we could do would be to provide enough oxygen for the iranians to do what they want to do themselves to communicate with each other, to leverage technology they currently don't have. this is by the way the regime of course think it is invasive but this is just a natural evolution of the protest that you see now in iran. we have to think about how to make that more effective. >> i agree with what you are seeing rather than democracy is ideas about democracy are already pervasive in society and they are spreading even more in my opinion as we know many of the iranian people are young under the age of 30 daisy about two-thirds are under the age of 30 so they were not alive the time of the revolution or they don't remember it. more and the year more and more connected through the world of t
