MSNBC: Manuel Noriega Dead at Age 83

EXCERPT:

BRZEZINSKI: "Breaking news that came in overnight, former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega has died at the age of 83. At one time, Noriega worked as an informant, an ally with U.S. intel agencies often playing multiple sides. Over time, he consolidated power, eventually taking control of the country. Things soon soured with Washington. In 1989, after Noriega declared war on the U.S. and when an unarmed off-duty marine was shot and killed, the U.S. invaded Panama. Operation Just Cause was the largest military operation since the Vietnam War."
