He said that could take one to three weeks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Last I heard, France wouldn&#8217;t extradite Noreiga because he faced the death penalty for a murder charge. Panama must&#8217;ve vacated the penalty in an agreement with France as a condition of the extradition.<\/p>\n<p>My mother-in-law went to school with Noriega where she says his nickname was &#8220;Little boots&#8221; because his feet are so small. She tried to get him to intervene when I was in jail in Panama for kidnapping and he was just a lieutenant colonel under his predecessor, General Omar Torrijos. Of course, he didn&#8217;t intervene and I was released a few weeks after my arrest, because&#8230;well&#8230;I didn&#8217;t kidnap anyone.<\/p>\n<p>Now, after 22 years in prison, Noreiga is looking at another 20 years in a Panama prison. I can tell him from experience that it&#8217;s not as nice as the prisons to which he&#8217;s accustomed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Associated Press\/Stars &#038; Stripes reports that france is going to extradite Manuel Noriega, former Panama &hellip; <a title=\"Noreiga to be extradited to Panama\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=26065\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Noreiga to be extradited to Panama<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[155],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26065","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-shitbags"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26065","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=26065"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26065\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=26065"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=26065"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=26065"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
