ROFLMAO. Notice the "aid and comfort to the enemy" charge against Prescott. This is also covered in Kelley's chock full of stuff book which is an amazing read.

How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power

George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.
The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.

His business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy.

The evidence has also prompted one former US Nazi war crimes prosecutor to argue that the late senator's action should have been grounds for prosecution for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

The debate over Prescott Bush's behaviour has been bubbling under the surface for some time. There has been a steady internet chatter about the "Bush/Nazi" connection, much of it inaccurate and unfair. But the new documents, many of which were only declassified last year, show that even after America had entered the war and when there was already significant information about the Nazis' plans and policies, he worked for and profited from companies closely involved with the very German businesses that financed Hitler's rise to power. It has also been suggested that the money he made from these dealings helped to establish the Bush family fortune and set up its political dynasty....

2. "Texan's for Truth" should make a TV ad to vet these historical facts

The American people should know the truth about their "fortunate son," and where the blood-money came from that made the Bush family so fortunate.

>>More than 60 years after Prescott Bush came briefly under scrutiny at the time of a faraway war, his grandson is facing a different kind of scrutiny but one underpinned by the same perception that, for some people, war can be a profitable business.<<

Abu Ghraib, torture memo

>>"It is by leaps and bounds the worst thing I've seen since this whole Abu Ghraib scandal broke," said Tom Malinowski of Human Rights Watch.

>>The size and scope of the government contracts awarded to Halliburton in connection with the war in Iraq are significantly greater than was previously disclosed and demonstrate the U.S. military's increasing reliance on for-profit corporations to run its logistical operations. Independent experts estimate that as much as one-third of the monthly $3.9 billion cost of keeping U.S. troops in Iraq is going to independent contractors.<<

Graft and corruption, Halliburton, Brown and Root

>>You’ve heard a lot about Halliburton lately. Their insider connections to the Bush Administration bringing in billions in no-bid contracts to rebuild war devastated Iraq. Accusations of bribes to Nigerian dictator Sani Abacha exceeding more than $180 million. Their subsidiary, Kellogg, Brown and Root overcharging the American taxpayers $61 million for fuel delivery. Halliburton’s disputed charges for meal supplies to troops in Iraq. Bribes, corruption and graft seem to be business as usual at Halliburton.<<
