BushCo: America Does Not Include Bridge 
Lawyers Take Cubans' Case to Federal Court
By LAURA WIDES-MUNOZ, Associated Press Writer Thu Jan 12, 3:29 PM ET
[edited]Under the government's long-standing "wet-foot, dry-foot" policy, Cubans who reach U.S. soil are generally allowed to stay, while those stopped at sea are returned to the communist island. In this case, the government said it sent the Cubans back to their homeland because the bridge no longer connects to land.
The Cubans set out from their homeland in a small boat and thought they were safe when they reached the bridge Jan. 4 after more than a day at sea. But the bridge, which runs side by side with a newer bridge, is missing several chunks, and the group had the misfortune of reaching a section that no longer touches land.
99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name. - Steven Wright
