#3 B-a-R: LOL, I had the same thought. Don't these guys read the papers anymore ?

One comment about his passports: Hmm, only 3 of them, he must be pretty far down the totem pole...

#4 Mr. Shurkrijumah was then turned over to representatives of Hutchison Wampo (AKA the Army of the People's Republic of China and a main operator of the canal) and has not been heard from (oh, except for the screaming) since.

#5 "1... The US may not own it but it sure does use it... mostly for grains.
#4... Hutchinson Wampoa does not operate the Canal... it has concessions in Balboa and Cristobal ports as other US companies do in the same area (KC RR, SSA). The Canal is controlled by the Panama Canal Authority... a Panamanian Government agency
FYI the US and Panama signed a treaty in 1979 (no expiration date...ugh) for the defense of the waterway. If the US thinks the Canal is in danger, it can legally and unilaterally (what else is new) decide to protect it, invading Panama if necessary, what a cheerful prospect!

#7 What? Not Venezuelan passport?
He must, indeed, be pretty far down the totem pole.
