He refused. So I enjoy a bit of satisfaction knowing that he died in a Panamanian prison. I&#8217;ll be celebrating tonight with some of the product of President Varela&#8217;s day job. He owns the largest distillery in Panama that turns out &#8220;Ron Abuelo&#8221; rum. I have a bottle or two laying around somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, if you listen to NPR today, you&#8217;d think that Noriega was only mean to Americans causing us to invade.
