Please follow the link to the Beeb. Noriega was sure as hell no choir boy, but we did invade a sovereign country to grab him, then gave him a speedy trial and locked him up for 17 years. Ok, he was a really bad guy, but he was our really bad guy. He's paid his price for being a lackey for one President Bush. Can't they just put him on a plane and send him home?

1. This reminds me of someone:
However, in 1988 a Florida court charged Noriega with helping Colombian drugs-traffickers smuggle tons of cocaine into the US.

The White House then added to that accusations of election-rigging and violating human rights. Sounds familiar isn't it?

2. No, they don't want him talking to any reporters...
...about how our shadow government operates.

3. He was a puppet till he decided not to be one, and that's when the U.S. got mad at him.....
Now that he's been punished for refusing to continue being a puppet for the U.S., now they're sending him to be punished by a proper puppet.

4. Well he's faired better than Saddam Hussein assuming...
...his treatment in prison has been better than death. Who knows what the relationship between Ossama Bin Laden and the Bush regime currently is. He is free and they don't seem to be trying very hard to "smoke him out"...
