	A short history of Panama
		Modern Panamanian history is shaped by its transisthmian canal, which had been a dream since the beginning of Spanish colonization.
		When elections are held in 1989, Panamanians voted for the anti-Noriega candidates by a margin of over three-to-one.
		The Norieiga regime promptly annulls the election and embarks on a new round of repression.

	Panama
		In the run-up to the national elections in May, government advertising continued to be distributed along partisan lines and clearly favored certain newspapers despite their modest circulation.
		Domestic and international observers characterized the elections as generally free and fair; however, at least one local contest was marred by reports of vote buying.
		A constitutional provision reserving retail trade for Panamanian citizens was not enforced in practice; however, immigrants legally could not own their businesses as sole proprietorships and sometimes encountered bureaucratic difficulties in practicing their professions.

	The Yin Blog: September 2004
		CBS' Dan Rather is reduced to defending his reliance upon what looks to be a forged document by asserting that no one challenged the "thrust" of his report.
		That's what happened when outgoing Panamanian President Mireya Moscoso inexplicably pardoned four Cuban exiles convicted of "endangering public safety" for their role in an assassination plot against Fidel Castro during a 2000 international summit in Panama.
		Panamanian prosecutors said they had planned to detonate 33 pounds of explosives while Castro was speaking at a university in Panama.

		Quoting documents obtained by the Indian embassy in Paris, Krishnaswamy said Dassault had hired the Panamanian company Kayser for some market-related research in the region, but its services were terminated in 1998, much before the Indian contract was signed.
		Reacting to media reports that a French court had upheld that Kayser had worked to swing the Indian deal in favour of Dassault, Krishnaswamy told reporters that his information said the Panamanian company had lost the case as also an appeal against the verdict.

		A betrayal not only of the Cuban people but also the very Panamanian people, affirmed Ambassador Carlos Zamora during yesterday’s Roundtable program, which discussed the shameful pardon granted by the president of Panama, Mireya Moscoso, to the four terrorists of Cuban origin detained in her country.
		The Panamanian press is likewise attacking Mireya Moscoso for this disgraceful pardon that came before the legal proceedings had been completed, given the appeal filed by the prosecution lawyers.
		Likewise in a phone communication, Gabriel Pascual, vice president of the Panamanian Solidarity with Cuba Secretariat, stated that the student movement was on the streets at dawn in response to the president’s action, is on the alert and protesting, which it will continue to do.

		El Siglo was openly supporting Martin's election campaign and refused to even look at anything critical of Torrijos and his people - obviously Asvat wasn't taking any chances with his political future and thus he already proved himself wrong.
		Such a complete lack of journalistic ethics can not be regarded as anything but a major insult to readers and democracy.

		Kerry was active in investigations of Iran-contra, the CIA connection to Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega and the corruption of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International.
		By virtue of his knowledge of world affairs, his life story of national service and his moderate values, John Kerry is that leader.

		He is a consistent supporter of abortion rights, gun control, gay rights (but not gay marriage), and he has long opposed the death penalty, though more recently he said he supports it for terrorists.
		Kerry has been a leader on issues ranging from POWs in Vietnam to fighting drilling in the Arctic refuge, but he has never had a reputation for crafting and pushing through legislation.
		Instead, he made his name after winning election to the Senate in 1984 as a maverick investigator.

		Far from polarizing our allies, we are entering into a more mature relationship that has dispelled much of the dishonesty of the last 20 years.
		Arab faux-intellectuals and their fellow travelers in the West caricature it, because reform will make untenable their hothouse cynical anti-Americanism — as they soon become as irrelevant as Panamanian or Serbian leftists damning the United States for removing Noriega and Milosevic to give democracy a chance.
		So it is now the Palestinians' call — fair and periodic elections, free speech, and civic audit — not ours.

		There is a great deal to be learned from the Democratic Party side of the equation, and voters who eagerly participate in the election process are almost pathologically in denial about the compromise of the process that has occurred with proprietary electronic software that remains easily manipulated and immune from public scrutiny.
		Regardless of the results of the 2004 election, as long as "war on terrorism"/"make us safe" indoctrination persists, war will not end—and criminal warmongers like Bush are empowered.
		The official body count for the Panama Invasion is approximately 500 Panamanians (mainly civilians) dead, but non-governmental sources with no less evidence count thousands more; there were 3,000 wounded and tens of thousands left homeless, not to mention the 23 American dead and 324 American wounded.

		It ran accounts for the traffickers’ protector, Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega, as well as for the drug kingpins of Asia’s Golden Crescent, including Burmese heroin warlord Khun Sa, and for drug trafficking Afghanis and Pakistanis.
		For the Afghanis, the rule was “drugs out, American and British arms in.” Clients also included Middle East terrorist Abu Nidal, who used bank financing to get weapons; the sellers of nuclear technology to Pakistan; and Syrian drug trafficker, terrorist, and arms trafficker Monzer Al-Kassar.
