Pnma: Reich talks to Panama about corruption

Panama media sneers Otto Reich is an arch-conservative. Panama has long been needing to hear this speech. Where else did Joh O'Halloran go with the Trinidad's money but ... Panama. Yeah, you guessed it.

George W. Bush's special envoy for hemispheric affairs, Otto Reich, recently spent a week in Panama. He visited a number of business organizations, and met with all of the presidential candidates and various government leaders. He appeared on the February 1 edition of TVN’s “Dialogo” show with Luz María Noli.

Reich, an arch-conservative from the Cuban-American community who played a controversial role during the 1980s Central American wars and who has a hard time getting approved for things by the Congress, did not come across as a right-wing fanatic on Noli’s show. Anything but.
