Au revoir, Manuel! Vive la France! (Note: He stayed here as long as he could after his sentence was served. My goodness! We are so hospitable!)

WASHINGTON — The U.S. extradited former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega to France on Monday, clearing the way for him to stand trial there on money laundering charges.

Earlier Monday, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton signed a so-called surrender warrant for Noriega after a federal judge in Miami lifted a stay blocking the extradition last month, State Department spokesman Mark Toner said.
He said Clinton signed the warrant because all court challenges to his extradition were resolved.
