you are right, Carter gave that away.
I have hesitated to jump into this because of the lack of knowledge by some concerning my birthplace and home, the Canal Zone.
Tai_Chung and LibertarianInExile understand the facts because they took the trouble to do the research.
If some do not understand the treaty by reading it as simple as it was written, sadly there is no help or hope for you.
John McCain’s father was stationed in Quarry Heights and the present nut was born in Gorgas Hospital, Ancon, which belonged to the Canal Zone and not to the military.
If McCain becomes the presidential nomination for the Republican party, this will be going to the Supreme Court. I can see the Democrats pushing this, and it sould be.
Thank you, Tai_Chung, for your research and caring.
Thank you, LibertarianInExile, for sharing the Panama Canal Treaty of 1903.
Good work by both of you.
Regards and love from a Canal Zonian.
