    what is in the panamanian water these days. They are arresting north koreans agents one day and cia operatives the next.Fair play to them.It will be hilarious to watch all the same fox talking heads who yesterday were heaping praise on the panamanians now heap insults on them today.

    This is a big step though by both panama and italy and welcome if it means that the cia realise that if the run around other countries carrying out blatant illegal acts there will be at leastsome consequences.It will be unlikely that panama will be able to actually able to withstand us pressure and extradite this guy to Italy but it is at least some kind of benchmark.

    Or not.Looks like the boys on the ground enforced the interpol warrant but the higher ups got him out of there as soon as possible as soon as they found out.

    Yeah it looks like pressure was put on and not a few palms greased with bribes. Pity i would have liked to watch them squirm and explain his actions and as you said the talking heads would not know what to say. I dare say Fox won't even mention it now.
