Defense: Juror No. ###,###,###,... did you see the CNN broadcast 
	 of the Noriega tapes?
Juror No. ###,###,###,... : Yes, I did.
Defense: Your I wish to disqualify this Juror, on the grounds 
	 that his/her may be biased as a result of hearing the
	 tapes of my client and myself.
Prosecution: No objection, your Honour.
Judge: Respective Juror No. ###,###,###,... you're dismissed.
Defense: Juror No. ###,###,###,... plus one... did you see the
	 CNN broadcast of the Noriega tapes?

It is my belief that Noriega will not get a fair trial in this 
country, because of this "leak" of information to the public.
It is **my opinion** that this was a diliberate act on the part
of the Justice Department and the Intelligence Community.

I assert **my opinion** under the rights granted me under the
First Amendment of the U. S. Constitution.  

Have a nice day.
