  • Just Cause

    President Bush (41) accused him of being a ruthless dictator who terrorized his people, disrespected international law and posed a threat to US security. When Panamanian President Manuel Noriega was removed from office in 1989's "Operation Just Cause," initial reports suggested an almost bloodless "regime change". But subsequent investigation revealed hundreds of civilian casualties. Could Panama be a template for a war on Iraq? Also: an intimate look at the lives of several inner city teens from the Bronx.
