Bush crime family may not be able to hide out in Paraguay after all
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/node/33192

Back in late 2006, it was widely reported in the Latin American media that President Bush, or perhaps his old man, had bought a 100,000-acre farm in a remote area of Paraguay.

What struck people at the time was the choice of country. Paraguay, of course, has gained a certain Club Med status among the world's villains and criminal elements as the place to go when the law's on your tail. The country, ruled for six decades by the dictatorial and fascist Colorado Party of Gen. Alfredo Stroesser, an almost cartoon charicature of a Latin American dictator, has no extradition treaty with any nation.

Only trouble is, Paraguay may not be such a safe haven for long.

Last month, a former Roman Catholic Bishop with leftist, populist tendencies, Fernando Lugo, surprised almost everyone in Paraguay, and no doubt President Bush, by winning the national presidential election, ousting the Colorado Party for the first time in 61 years. There is talk that among other things, Lugo is thinking of returning Paraguay to the community of nations, by signing some of those extradition agreements.

2. Oh, man, that makes me hope even more that the Bushes were planning on moving there!
I'd love to see their plans get shot to hell!!

And if it's true, I bet the value of land will plummet, since it would no longer be an attractive place to move to.

that Bush had bought land in Paraguay.

6. Don't be surprised if Lugo has an accident
If they killed a woman for sex, imagine what they will do to keep out of world court.
