Panama invasion 24 years later
#1
Special Report: Twenty-four years ago, the United States invaded Panama to capture Gen. Manuel Noriega on drug charges. Operation Just Cause promised the country a new day free of dictatorship and drug-tainted corruption, but it didn't work out that way, as Jonathan Marshall describes.

A bitter new joke began making the rounds in Panama, recited by journalists and academics. It said of the Americans, "They took Ali Baba and left us with the 40 thieves."
