Manuel Noreiga

Manuel Noreiga is being extradited from France to Panama. He was first arrested by the United States, during the presidency of George H. W. Bush. The U. S. invaded Panama to get him. At his trial, Noreiga tried to introduce evidence that he had worked for George H. W. Bush when that Bush was head of CIA; this evidence was disallowed--so Noreiga held up a large photograph of himself with Bush, and Bush with his arm around his good drug-running friend.

Maybe Panama should try extraditing George H. W. Bush, too. Nicaragua might also want the former U. S. president. And Cuba? Who was resp[onsioble for those 28 U. S. attempts to assassinate Fidel Castro?

But back to Panama. It would be a shame to let George H. W. Bush die of old age, without ever having to face justice.
