  18. <p>     When U.S. troops rushed to Panama's National Police
  19. Headquarters two weeks ago to confront a small-scale revolt,
  20. they did so without waiting for President Guillermo Endara to
  21. ask for help. The reason for the breach of diplomatic
  22. procedure? At least four American military officers, including
  23. James Steele, head of the U.S. military support group in
  24. Panama, were in the building when the rebellion began. After
  25. American troops surrounded the headquarters, the officers were
  26. allowed to leave. The U.S. embassy then helped Endara make a
  27. request for U.S. aid.
