72. An Activist Escaping Panama with Kimberly Muse
This week, Justin speaks with Kimberly Muse, daughter of Kurt Muse. Kim grew up in Panama, where her father was became the leader of a group of activists in protesting against General Manuel Noriega via radio transmissions. Their work caught the attention of the CIA, and they even received support from the agency for their efforts.
In spring of 1989, Kurt was suddenly arrested at Panama City Airport as he was returning from a trip to the United States. His family and cohorts fled to the US, but Kurt was imprisoned at Carcel Modelo for nine months until a tactical Delta Force mission, Operation Acid Gambit, came to the rescue. Kurt later wrote a best selling memoir of his activism and rescue.
