The Times reported last week that in 1972, law-enforcement officials in the Nixon Administration proposed to assassinate Noriega in order to help curb Panama's drug traffic. Congressmen will undoubtedly want to know why the U.S. Government continued to associate with a man who was suspected of such blatant corruption.
