What ever happened to Manuel Noriega?
Haven't heard a word about Poppy's pal Manuel in a long time. Was he ever tried or convicted of something or did he just disappear into the Gulag?

1. If I were Saddam Hussein,
I'd be expecting the same treatment. 15 years from now, our kids will be asking, "Whatever happened to Saddam Hussein?"

These guys know way too much about the BFEE to every see the light of day again.

2. Unlike W Manuel has done time and possibly longer than Slobodan
Milosevic..My slavic spelling doesn't look right but you may remember the guy as another nut case with an ethnic cleaning fetish..

3. Yes he was...
"Noriega was found guilty and sentenced on September 16, 1992, to 40 years in prison for drug and racketeering violations. His sentence was reduced to 30 years in 1999, making Noriega eligible for parole in 2006.

In 1999 the Panamanian government sought the extradition of Noriega to face murder charges in Panama, as he had been found guilty in absentia in 1995."
