French Jail Awaits Noriega?Posted on Aug 24, 2007Once he’s released in September from a Miami prison, where he’s been serving time for the last 15 years, former Panamanian ruler Manuel Noriega faces yet another jail term, either in his homeland or, more likely, in France. On Friday, a U.S. federal judge refused to block Noriega’s extradition to France, where he may endure yet another stint in a foreign prison.

Noriega was a CIA asset heading a US supported dictatorship in a US-created country where the US owned an important Canal. Now he’s being released from a US prison and the US will extradite him to France.
Typical. Noriega’s victims were for the overwhelming majority Panamanians. He’s not wanted here on such futilities as shipping dope or laundering money, but for murdering his opponents. Yet, as has been the norm throughout this whole sordid affair, Panamanians are left out of the equation because, as it is, the US doesn’t want political turmoil that would no doubt ensue should Noriega return to Panama.

For the truth about monster daddy bush’s invasion of Panama and the massacres that followed, please watch this Google video:
The Panama Deception
It was on Link TV Thurs night - absolutely horrible.
It was just practice for Iraq.
No wonder the entire world hates us.

Ah, another sad tale of a leader of a country who made the mistake of being complicit in bad American mojo. When will they learn? Noriega, bad guy that he is became the fall guy for another shrub. If you wash our dirty laundry, you’ll be the one hung out to dry.

Does it really matter which prison term he serves first?
