It’s over.  Noriega is dead.

The once dictator of Panama, Manuel Noriega, is dead.  After serving sentences in the US and France Noriega was returned to Panama where he lived in a nondescript Panamanian jail called El Renacer on the banks of the Panama Canal.  He came home to Panama, a frail, elderly and sickly old man who claimed to be a born-again Christian.  He suffered from a brain tumor and after several failed attempts to operate, due to his poor condition, the tumor was finally removed in early March.  Noriega came out of the operation in critical condition and was placed in a medically induced coma.  He died at the age of 83,  Now I need to update my books which I just updated and released.
