The Chinamen are going to shut down the Canal when Colombia goes to war with everybody

You'd think that an editor in chief of Military & Aerospace Electronics magazine would have his facts straight. Not so. Today John Keller apologizes for writing on his blog that China operates the Canal, after he was corrected on that weird statement by Teresa Arosemena of the ACP. But some people never learn, and Keller has now downgraded his statement to:
I retain my concern, however, that a Chinese company effectively controls the entrances and exits of the Panama Canal at a time when U.S. and Chinese national interests could come into conflict just a couple of hundred miles away.
He's talking about the container terminals of course. Hutchison Whampoa. Strange that the editor of a military magazine doesn't explain how a container terminal could close the Canal even if they wanted to . Black helicopters, we suppose, dumping containers in the lane. Doesn't he know that we all wear tinfoil hats here in Panama to protect ourselves against secret Chinese radiation programs from outer space?
FARC in Panama

Says Daniel Delgado Diamante, Comandante Minister of Government and Justice: The FARC statement threatening that the captured guerrillos should be released or else, is false. So he doesn't want to comment. And that they say there is an agreement to "live and let live" with the FARC in Panama is not true either.
Is he speaking the truth? After the Chavez/payments screw-up, who knows?
Let's put it this way: Why is the FARC in Panama - they have a camp near the border in the Dariën - basically left alone if there is no silent agreement? And if the FARC communique is false and not important, why was an internet café in La Chorrera raided the other day from where the statement was reportedly distributed?
