That 2008 archive of Kronemyer's says that he had recently completed work at RAND and all site contents are copyright 2006, 2007, or 2008.

Meanwhile, "Noriega was incarcerated in the Federal Correctional Institution, Miami.

Under Article 85 of the Third Geneva Convention, Noriega was considered a prisoner of war, despite his conviction for acts committed prior to his capture by the "detaining power" (the U.S.). This status meant that he had his own prison cell, furnished with electronics and exercise equipment. His cell was nicknamed "the presidential suite".

...In August 2007, a U.S. federal judge approved the French government's request to extradite Noriega to France after his release. Noriega appealed his extradition because he claimed France would not honor his legal status as a prisoner of war. Though Noriega had been scheduled to be released in 2007, he remained incarcerated while his appeal was pending in court. The Supreme Court of the United States refused to hear his appeal in January 2010, and in March declined a petition for a rehearing. Two days after the refusal, the District Court for the Southern District of Florida in Miami lifted the stay that was blocking Noriega's extradition."

Noriega was a CIA asset. They would rendition him away when they wanted information. This would not make the news. RAND is obviously CIA linked as well.
