There's a great documentary directed by Barbara Trent titled "The Panama Deception." The Academy Award-winning documentary takes a critical look at Operation Just Cause, the December 20, 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama. Also, if you go to counterpunch dot org and type Panama in their internal search bar you will get hundreds of articles related to Panama going back years. Noam Chomsky's book "Deterring Democracy" also contains an extensive analysis of the Panama invasion. Chomsky argues the invasion was a test case for the "New World Order" and critiques the media's role in demonizing Manuel Noriega.
