We left them an empty cave. Period.
We just gave the whole facility to the Panamanians/Chinese," he said. Albrook Air Field, one of the facilities abandoned by the Pentagon, had been the base for regional surveillance operations for monitoring activities in Cuba and other parts of Central America.
Wrong. We were using Howard Air Base on the west bank. Albrook air field had been shut down for a million years for aircrafts. It appears that housing in Howard and Fort Kobbe will be sold to private individuals.
"There are many other military and intelligence facilities now gone," the former official lamented, including the Rodman Naval Air Station, which the Chinese had the option to lease, as well as military and intelligence facilities at Corozal, Corundu, Fort Clayton, Fort Sherman, and the Special Forces jungle training center.
Wrong. Rodman is being used by Panama and has been renamed. Corozal, Curundu, Fort Clayton, Fort Sherman are for local consumption. Fort Sherman and the Special Forces jungle training center were one in the same. I dont know where Gertz got his misinformation and so much of it.
