    I think the weakness of the government's role in this event is why Glenn left it out of his article.

    Actually, I left it out because I didn't know Holder had any involvement in the Elian case (and still don't know what he did - the decision is usually attributed to Janet Reno) and hadn't really focused on the legal arguments in the Tribe Op-Ed.

    I'm now adding an update as a result of your comment.
