skeletons in the bushes

from The Guardian UK

> 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.
