War criminal Gustavo Perez complains about his honor

It's like Martinelli calling for "unity" and "help" to make "change" reality: When criminals start complaining about their honor you can be sure they're in trouble.

It's like Martinelli calling for "unity" and "help" to make "change" reality: When criminals start complaining about their honor you can be sure they're in trouble.
Bananama Republic tests the food at the Falafel King in Panama's Albrook Mall, which is as bad as Martinelli's performance in Israel.
You don't have to be really bright to understand that this "mano dura" thing against crime doesn't work. Countries with low crime rates keep these rates low not by implementing "mano dura" and putting ever more police on the streets, but by sane social policies.
One of the great things about the "war on drugs" is that it brings out the best in our heroic policemen and women. We don't know if you've ever noticed, dear reader, but every time they make one of those drug busts their creative juices start flowing and we get these pictures of mosaics made of bundles of cocaine!
Panama sees the criticism on its narconomics as an opportunity to squeeze money out of the US.
First, Panama's PRD party slammed Martinelli for his police chief. Then, they realized that the hostage taker was, actually, one of them!
All the "analysts" were wrong: Panama's economy only grew with 2.4% in 2009. Leftist Bolivia is doing best in the region!
Panama City's Fire Department has only 9 of the 42 vehicles it should have. Meanwhile, Martinelli spends more on State propaganda than on rectifying this.
Drug trafficker Richard Fifer is making a come-back at Petaquilla and immediately the stock sinks. The umpteenth episode in this endless soap about a wannabe goldmine.
Is it some sort of wacky hobby then, of the fine people of US State, to repeat themselves in voluminous reports every year and push policies that demonstrably have no effect in reducing the drug trade and money laundering? Is it, maybe, an addiction?
