	The United States v. Noriega
		Noriega also allegedly traveled to Havana, Cuba and met with Cuban president Fidel Castro, who, according to the indictment, mediated a dispute between Noriega and the Cartel caused by the Panamanian troops' seizure of a drug laboratory that Noriega was paid to protect.
		Noriega's counsel then moved to dismiss the indictment on the ground that United States laws could not be applied to a foreign leader whose alleged illegal activities all occurred outside the territorial bounds of the United States.
		The fact that Noriega is alleged to have utilized his official position to engage in criminal activity does not, as Defendant suggests, cast his actions in a public light; as we well know, government officials are as capable of exploiting their positions of power for private, selfish ends as they are for public purpose.

	Manuel Noriega - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Noriega was in Paris at the time the murder took place, alleged by some to have been at the direction of his Chiriqui Province commander, Luis Cordoba.
		Noriega supporters mocked the demonstrations of the Civic Crusade as "the protest of the Mercedes Benz," deriding the wealthy ladies for banging on Teflon-coated pots and pans (unlike the cruder and louder pots and pans traditionally banged by the poor in South American protests), or sending their maids to protest for them.
		Noriega was found guilty and sentenced on September 16, 1992, to 40 years in prison for drug and racketeering violations.

		Noriega was accused of ordering the 1985 murder of a prominent critic of the military, Hugo Spadafora, but when Panamanian president Nicolás Ardito Barletta tried to investigate, Noriega removed Ardito Barletta from office.
		In April 1992 Noriega was found guilty of cocaine trafficking, racketeering, and money laundering, marking the first time in history that a U.S. jury had convicted a foreign head of state of criminal charges.
		Noriega was later convicted in absentia by Panamanian courts of ordering the murder of Spadafora and also that of an army officer.

		Noriega challenges his convictions on five distinct grounds: the first three relate to the district court's decision to exercise jurisdiction over this case and the final two concern evidentiary rulings by the district court.
		In his pre-trial motion, Noriega also sought the dismissal of the indictment against him on the ground that the manner in which he was brought before the district court (i.e., through a military invasion) was so unconscionable as to constitute a violation of substantive due process.
		Noriega points to no evidence that the government had actual knowledge of the alleged payment by the Cali Cartel, but he insists that it should be charged with constructive knowledge of the bribe.

	Noriega Convicted on 8 Drug and Racketeering Charges
		Noriega, 58, sitting ramrod straight in his general's uniform at the defense table, showed no emotion as a court clerk read eight "guilty" verdicts and two "not guilty" verdicts on lesser charges.
		Noriega was then led away by U.S. marshals to a private room to confer with his family.
		Included were a three-year investigation of Noriega's crimes, fees to informants, the living expenses of federally protected witnesses and the salaries of perhaps 30 to 50 federal agents and government lawyers who worked on the case.

	State's Noriega Hails Colombia's Progress Against Illicit Drugs- U.S. Department Of State
		Noriega said Colombia's President Alvaro Uribe shares the U.S. commitment to bring any terrorist or criminal to justice who has been, or may be, indicted for crimes against the United States and U.S. citizens. In addition, Uribe has pledged to take no action that precludes extradition of such criminals.
		Colombia's government, said Noriega, is facing up to long-standing political, security, social and economic problems that have been exacerbated by the country's explosive growth in the cultivation of coca and opium poppy cultivation during the late 1990s, when guerrilla and paramilitary forces became deeply involved in the cultivation of these drug crops.
		Noriega said "there is no single explanation for the wide range of Colombia's troubles, but they are rooted in the traditionally limited government presence" in large areas of the country's interior regions, a history of civil conflict and violence, and deep social inequities.

		Despite-or maybe because of-Noriega's "perverse" treatment of prisoners, he was deemed worthy to be trained at the notorious School of the Americas (also known as the "School of Dictators" or the "School of Assassins"), run by the US Army in Panama City (it's since moved to Ft. Benning, Georgia).
		Noriega had angered his handlers by waffling on his opposition to the Sandinistas in Nicaragua and he was showing other disquieting signs of disobedience.
		But, unlike Noriega, Panama's new rulers knew how to follow orders, and agreed to reconsider the Torrijos treaties, under which all US military bases in Panama would be shut down by the year 2000.

	Panama: Noriega ~ by R.M. Koster
		Her work furnished a unique perspective on General Noriega's approach to statecraft--for instance this innovation in handling dissent: in 1988 and 1989 a number of political detainees were raped by HIV carriers, and all were routinely threatened with it.
		And Noriega was a key figure in the CIA airlift of weapons to the Contras.
		Israeli stocks of captured PLO weapons went from Texas to clandestine airstrips Noriega had established in Honduras and Costa Rica during the 1970s when the PDF was smuggling weapons to the Sandinistas, the same strips later used for smuggling cocaine under $10 million per month general services contract between the PDF and the Medallin cartel.

	Roger Noriega, the Architect of the Rule of Terror in Haiti, Quits State Department - July 30, 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Noriega was the chief architect of the coup d'etat against Haiti's internationally recognized democratically elected President and all 7,000 elected officials of Haiti.
		Noriega's vindictive obsession with Presidents Aristide and Chavez led him to be the architect of, at the very least, the coup d'etat against President Aristide, and the installation of a brutal, corrupt and shameless interim government in Haiti.
		Although Noriega cannot bring back the lives that have been tragically lost, this would be a good opportunity for him to repent for all the acts he has commited against mankind, democracy and universally accepted standards of human rights.

		Although it spans only a short span of Noriega's life, namely the time he was at the peak of his power, until his fall and arrest by the Americans, the account gives us a fair idea of the style and deeds of the man.
		Yet, by what I have read in the past when Noriega was at the headlines, the story seems to be within the boundaries of truth.

	Right Web \| Profile \| Roger Noriega
		Roger Noriega, the former assistant secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs known for his meddling in the internal affairs of many Latin American and Caribbean nations, now issues proclamations about U.S.-Latin America policy from his perch at the neoconservative American Enterprise Institute (AEI).
		Noriega also has a different view of the events of April 11, 2002, which most observers regard as a failed coup by the political opposition working together with a dissident faction of the military and with the approval from Washington—notably Noriega's predecessor Reich.
		From Noriega's perspective, the temporary removal of Chavez from the Miraflores presidential palace was the result of a popular rebellion sanctioned by the country's constitution that honors Venezuela's “republican tradition.” According to Noriega, the attempted coup was a spontaneous reaction to anti-Chavez demonstrations.
