From 1903 to 1979 the territory was controlled by the United States of America, which had built and financed the canal's construction. From 1979 to 1999 the canal itself was under joint U.S.-Panamanian control. In 1977 the Torrijos-Carter Treaties established the neutrality of the canal.
Thus it was treated like military base.

Also if I'm not mistaken, if you are born to American citizens (both parents), regardless of where, you ARE a natural born citizen.

^ Although McCain was not born within a state of the United States, his U.S. citizenship (and future eligibility to be elected to the presidency) was assured at birth both by jus sanguinis, since both of his parents were U.S. citizens, and jus soli, as the Panama Canal Zone was at that time (1936) a United States possession (1903-1979). See Ken Rudin. "Citizen McCain's Panama Problem?", The Washington Post, July 9, 1998.
