PICTURED: Aug. 08, 1988 - Panama City, Panama- MANUEL NORIEGA was a Panamanian soldier and the de facto military leader of Panama from 1983 to 1989. He was initially a strong ally of the United States and was regularly paid by the CIA from the late 1950s to 1986. By the late 1980s his actions became increasingly unacceptable to U.S. policy-makers, and he was overthrown and captured by a U.S. invading force in 1989, taken to the U.S., offered trial, and imprisoned in 1992. Up to this date, he remains imprisoned in a federal prison in Miami, Florida. (Credit Image: © Bill Gentile/ZUMAPRESS.com)
