Not quite, it's what's called fiction, people, he wasn't actually lying, he was, instead, writing a fictious novel. We could just as easily say Lucas is lying. That wasn't Crichton's fault, that was Speilberg's, since it was the movie that showed San José on the coast, not the novel. Again, that was all fiction. That was probably the fault of some casting person who did not take the time to research into it. We Boricuas (slang for Puerto Ricans) dislike Mexicans and their accents as well, so that's pretty common. Correction, the movie did not suggest that the Costa Rican government had a military, but instead showed a U.N. aircraft at the beginning (a P-3 Orion patrol/recon/observation plane) and the military forces shown at the end were U.S. Marines and U.S. Naval personnel. Remember, the guy Ellie married worked for the U.S. State Department and that was why U.S. Marines and Naval ships showed up to rescue those stranded on Isla Sorna. Of course, that's inaccurate since the U.S. government wouldn't do such a thing, much less mobilize so many personnel to only rescue a handful of people. He didn't lie, he took creative license, which is his right as an author. Along with that, I never meant to suggest Costa Rica owned islands as shown in the Jurassic Park trilogy, I was merely asking a question.
