Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5was indeed a very famous victim of psychological war fare techniques we have suspected have been used on battlefields many other times.
constant unsettling Rock Music, and bright light and seriously big sub bass woofers. However the really important thing that Rooster has appeared to have forgotten/overlooked is the nature of the compound Noriega was in.
It belonged to the Holy See as the Vatican state is reffered to in diplomatic and devil's advocates circles.
Noriega was in some ways exercising two ancient rights. One is "common" the other enshrined in international law.
1. the right to sanctuary. Many cases have since the medieval period established a "common law" right to stay in a church without being removed. Quasimodo did so. Lots of people have done so, in Ireland in the last eight years there was even a case of someone avoiding or delaying arrest by taking "sanctuary".
2. the internationally enshrined right to take refuge in a consular or diplomatic mission. That site being considered the sovreign territory of the state.
The US/CIA operation to remove Noriega came very close to constituting an attack on the right to seek "asylum" in a consul or embassy. It could and indeed some day might be considered by the international comunity to have been an instance of low intensity "war" between the USA and The Vatican. The head of state of the Vatican is the Pope. He visited Ireland in 1979 and listened to rock music for less than fifteen minutes in Galway.
