They sold guns to straw purchasers in the U.S. They didn't transport the guns to Mexico themselves. Which Mexican laws did they conspire to break?

Totally different situation with Noriega. We invaded Panama. He was a POW. Last I checked, Mexico hasn't (officially) invaded the U.S. If they do and they capture Holder ... well, they can have him. Until then, they can try him in abstentia because they're not getting him from us.

The 1989 invasion of Panama by the United States removed him from power; he was captured, detained as a prisoner of war, and flown to the United States. Noriega was tried on eight counts of drug trafficking, racketeering, and money laundering in April 1992. Noriega's U.S. prison sentence ended in September 2007; pending the outcome of extradition requests by both Panama and France, for convictions in absentia for murder in 1995 and money laundering in 1999, respectively. France was granted its extradition request in April 2010. He arrived in Paris on April 27, 2010, and after a re-trial as a condition of the extradition, he was found guilty and sentenced to seven years in jail in July 2010.

We invaded Panama.

Yes, we did. Now go learn why we didi it.

He was a POW.

Then why was he in a Federal prison after the cessation of hostilities? Wasn't the war over?

You're wrong. Just admit it and move on.
