The reply, filed by counsel for the US Government defendants in Ricardo Martinelli's pending Federal Habeus Corpus petition, has been restricted, and unavailable for public viewing, as is the petition. It is the former Panamanian President's last hope, before the Secretary of State has the Marshals pick him up for transport to Panama City.

Is he wearing a wireless listening device in Miami, and attempting to obtain incriminating testimony from a target of the Department of Justice ? We cannot say, but we surely would like to know what all the secrecy is about.
