Guardian: "How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power"

[pynchonoid]

We certainly haven't seen this story running in any
major US daily paper, not that I know of.  The Brits
on the list will know better, but my impression is
that the Guardian is a fairly respectable publication.

I'd like to see that law suit proceed against Bush. 
Then, put him on trial for war crimes.
