I welcome this news. This should keep out most or all of the Panamanian legislatures, many judges, the president, and all her crooked cabinet. The last paragraph holds a lot of truth: But, unless Washington does something about corrupt executives of U.S. firms handing out bribes or receiving dirty deposits, it will be seen abroad as an example of U.S. hypocrisy.
Taking away a person’s U.S. visa is, believe it or not, great punishment. One month after Bush became president, the last ex president of Panama had his U.S. visa lifted for trafficking in illegal immigrants to the U.S. He claims he did nothing wrong (HA! They never do). His legal representative, by the way, is shyster Greg Craig’s law firm in Washington D.C. The ex admits this has caused him GREAT PERSONAL EMBARRASSMENT because not everybody is granted a visa. This, therefore, puts him in the “not everybody” class. I still laugh every time I think about this.
Thank you for the post.
