	If you can explain to me what influence he still holds over the
   political/military arena then I might believe this statement. The fact that
   he is still alive keeps him in the public eye but he holds no influence
   over events in Panama.

You mean, like Khomeini had no influence over events in Iran? Just because
he got booted out of the capital/country/government/etc. certainly does
*NOT* nullify his capability to cause much continuing grief and aggravation
to all parties concerned. Even locked up in a [U.S.] prison, he could still
potentially wield tremendous influence, let alone if he was running around
free in some sanctuary, 'fer instance, Cuba.
