4. True. They both breathe the same air. "Conspirare" is the root of...
...Conspiracy. Conspirare was a Latin word for "breathing together." Today, of course, it means criminals who work together. In the case of NAZIs and Bushes, though, it means both the original and the new meanings.

CIA's Worst-Kept Secret

By Martin A. Lee
May 16, 2001

The CIA reports show that U.S. officials knew they were subsidizing numerous Third Reich veterans who had committed horrible crimes against humanity, but these atrocities were overlooked as the anti-Communist crusade acquired its own momentum.

With that fateful sub-rosa embrace, the die was cast for a litany of antidemocratic CIA interventions around the world.

The key figure on the German side of the CIA-Nazi tryst was General Reinhard Gehlen, who had served as Adolf Hitler's top anti-Soviet spy. During World War II, Gehlen oversaw all German military-intelligence operations in Eastern Europe and the USSR.
