    Ex-Panama dictator Noriega flown home from France

    PARIS (AP) — Former Panamanian military strongman Manuel Noriega left France Sunday for further punishment in his homeland after more than 20 years in U.S. and French jails for drug trafficking and money laundering.

    The 77-year-old departed on Sunday morning under escort from Orly airport, south of Paris, leaving behind his cell in the French capital's walled La Sante Prison. Panamanian officials say he will be sent straight to another jail cell when he lands.

    A four-car convoy and motorcycles took Noriega directly to the Iberia flight to Panama City via Madrid, bypassing the walkway used by other passengers on the commercial flight. The plane took off at 8:08 a.m. (0708 GMT).

      The U.S. changes its loyalty to world leaders and countries like most people change underwear and we wonder why we have no respect in the world community.

      Noriega was never tied to the Colombian cartels. He stopped the ether shipments that were transiting Panama for Colombia. Ether is an essential precursor for the manufacture of cocaine. He also closed the First Inter-America's bank that had been opened by the Cali cartel. Most of his money came from the CIA. The U.S. had other interests, which included the Panama Canal, and as always they looked for a convenient excuse. The rest is history.

      Vote Noriega for President of Panama !!!!! He is the most democratic and humble leader of the free world.....He should be named Honorable Secretary to the United Nations and be in charge of Narcotics inspections worldwide.

      Noriega got what he deserved. Now it's time for Bush 1+2, Clinton, Al Gore, Cheney and Obama to go to prison.

        but if those deserve it, how does the scapegoat still deserve it?
