The upper echelon of Panamanian society debates its treatment in the novel and plays guessing games to decide which fictional characters might correspond to the nation's real-life powerbrokers.
Perhaps Panamanians recognize that "The Tailor" is close enough to the truth that raising a noisier protest would only make the country the object of still greater ridicule — especially given the international propensity to see Latin America as preposterous and inferior.
The Panamanians, it seems, are upset not with le Carré's failure to tell the truth, but with his failure to tell the whole truth — and with the rest of us, who never stop to question the veracity of our picture of our neighbors to the South.

 Why Panama Is a Vital National Interest
McNamara admits that opposition to a U.S. military presence comes from "a small, but vocal minority of the Panamanian elite"; 65 percent to 80 percent of the population, however, favors U.S. involvement in the proposed Multinational Counternarcotics Center.
Indeed, most Panamanians recognize that their government is unable to defend the Panama Canal or protect the country against the type of terrorist raids that Colombian guerrillas conducted in the Darien region in 1997.
José Luis Sosa, director of Panama's National Police, said that Panama is "not in a condition to undertake a battle in the field with any group." In such a vulnerable environment, a U.S. priority should be the joint establishment of an effective security force.

With two-thirds of referendum results in, Panamanians voted four-to-one to support a $5.25 billion face-lift allowing the inter-oceanic canal to handle mammoth modern cargo ships, the Central American nation’s Electoral Tribunal reported.
The capacity of the canal, which was U.S. territory until it was returned to Panama in 1999, will double under the plan, allowing it to transport twice as many ships between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, boosting government revenue.
