Today's Q drops got me wondering what those at risk of jail might be thinking.
Here are some stories from 2006 and 2013 about what the Bush family might be thinking.
While Baghdad Burns, Bush Buys

WMR's Paraguayan sources have confirmed that George W. Bush recently bought 42,000 hectares (over 100,000 acres) of land in Paraguay's northern "Chaco" region.
The land, near the town of Chaco, sits atop huge natural gas reserves, according to sources in Asuncion…
The Bush land is close to a new U.S. military installation, the Mariscal Estigarribia Air Base.
It is also nearby a huge tract of land purchased by Sun Myung Moon that sits astride Latin America's largest water aquifer, the Guarani aquifer.

Buenos Aires, Oct 13 (Prensa Latina) An Argentine official regarded the intention of the George W. Bush family to settle on the Acuifero Guarani (Paraguay) as surprising, besides being a bad signal for the governments of the region.
Luis D Elia, undersecretary for the Social Habitat in the Argentine Federal Planning Ministry, issued a memo partially reproduced by digital INFOBAE.com, in which he spoke of the purchase by Bush of a 98,842-acre farm in northern Paraguay, between Brazil and Bolivia.
The news circulated Thursday in non-official sources in Asuncion, Paraguay.
D Elia considered this Bush step counterproductive for the regional power expressed by Presidents Nestor Kirchner, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Evo Morales, Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro.
He said that "it is a bad signal that the Bush family is doing business with natural resources linked to the future of MERCOSUR."

Meeting the new couple next door can be an anxious business for even the most relaxed home owner. Will they be international drug traffickers? Have they got noisy kids with a penchant for electronic music? As worries go, however, having the US president move in next door must come fairly low on the list.
Unless of course you are a resident of northern Paraguay and believe reports in the South American press that he has bought up a 100,000 acre (40,500 hectare) ranch in your neck of the woods.
The rumours, as yet unconfirmed but which began with the state-run Cuban news agency Prensa Latina, have triggered an outpouring of conspiracy theories, with speculation rife about what President Bush's supposed interest in the "chaco", a semi-arid lowland in the Paraguay's north, might be.
Some have speculated that he might be trying to wrestle control of the Guarani Aquifer, one of the largest underground water reserves, from the Paraguayans.
Rumours of Mr Bush's supposed forays into South American real estate surfaced during a recent 10-day visit to the country by his daughter Jenna Bush. Little is known about her trip to Paraguay, although officially she travelled with the UN children's agency Unicef to visit social projects. Photographers from the Paraguayan newspaper ABC Color tracked her down to one restaurant in Paraguay's capital Asunción, where she was seen flanked by 10 security guards, and was also reported to have met Paraguay's president, Nicanor Duarte, and the US ambassador to Paraguay, James Cason.

The George Bush Family
In 2006, the Bush family purchased 98,842 acres in Chaco Paraguay.
According to Russian Intelligence Analysts, Jenna Bush traveled to Paraguay on a 10 day mission for UNICEF. While there, she met with Paraguay’s President Nicanor Duarte and US ambassador to Paraguay, James Cason and finalized the land purchase deal on behalf of her family.
James Cason is an interesting person. Prior to being the Ambassador to Paraguay, he was chief of the United States Interests Section in Havana, Cuba. Prior to that, he was in Honduras and Jamaica. Cason previously served as political advisor to NATO and U S Atlantic Command. He also served commissions in Italy, Portugal, El Salvador, Panama, Venezuela, Uruguay and Bolivia. He is a very well connected Bureaucrat.
Ties between the Bush Family and Paraguay date back to World War II. Grandfather Prescott Bush was an American financier for the German Nazi Regime. At the end of the war, top Nazi officials, with the help of Prescott Bush, escaped Germany and went to South America.
