...these things could be forgiven, as they have in the past, were it not for Noriega's wandering eyes. In fact, the United States government had an inkling for quite some time that Noriega was more than your average sweet dictator-next-door as far back as 1972, when U.S. intelligence received reports that Noriega was involved in heroin tracking into the United States.

Later some of these arms turned...
