8:00-8:01 Billboard 8:01-8:05 Headlines 8:05-8:58: Today, on Democracy Now! we air the academy award-winning documentary: The Panama Deception. On December 19, 1989, U.S. troops invaded Panama with the stated purpose of ousting the man the media loved to hate, General Manuel Noriega. After 1986, Noriega s relationship with Washington took a turn for the worse. The Irancontra scandal forced three of his closest U.S. ties to leave the government. U.S. foreign policy quickly shifted against and Noriega went from friend to foe. During the attack, the U.S. unleashed a force of 24,000 troops equipped with highly sophisticated weaponry and aircraft against a country with an army smaller than the New York City Police Department. But the mainstream media failed to uncover the hidden reasons for this internationally condemned attack. The Panama Deception provides a provocative, well-documented analysis of U.S. relations with Panama and a devastating critique of the mainstream media and its complicity with the official government line. Produced and directed by Barbara Trent, The Panama Deception was banned in Panama but it won an Oscar here in 1992 for Best Documentary as well as numerous other awards. * Tape: The Panama Deception Produced and directed by Barbara Trent.
