There is very little doubt that the request for Moscoso's pardon of the terrorist Carriles came straight from the US, who quite obviously has a strong interest in keeping him quiet. This, or her more recent drug scandal, should be news in the US. It is important for the Panamanian Government to not leave unanswered this blatant abuse of power and foreign meddling.
Chaviano was given a 15 year sentence, so he was let out 2 years early, contary to statements that from Elizardo Sanchcez that he'd served his complete time.
