misterxParaguay grant U.S. troops immunity from national and International Criminal Court (ICC) jurisdiction, so we populate a base, and Bush buys 100k acres so he can hang out nearby?
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld sat as Director on the board of the company that sold nuclear reactors to North Korea, despite their potential for weapon development?
Cheney's Haliburton has been working with Iran's top nuclear scientists?
Haliburton has a contract to build detention camps within the US, in the event of an immigration emergency, "or other unforseen situations"?
Why might the president and his family need a 98,840-acre ranch in Paraguay protected by a semi-secret U.S. military base manned by American troops who have been exempted from war-crimes prosecution by the Paraguyan government?

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld sat as the only American director on the board of the Zurich-based engineering giant ABB from 1990 to early 2001. ABB is the company that won a $200 million contract to provide the design and key components for two light-water nuclear reactors supplied to... guess who... North Korea. Despite the fact that these reactors were supplied in exchange for North Korea dropping it's nuclear weapons program, the deal was criticized by many people close to Rumsfeld, who said weapons-grade nuclear material could be extracted from light-water reactors. Bang up job guys. Really. Proud of ya.

Scandal-plagued Halliburton was secretly working with one of Iran’s top nuclear scientists on natural gas related projects and, allegedly, selling the scientists’ oil company key components for a nuclear reactor, according to Halliburton sources with intimate knowledge of both companies’ business dealings.
...
Halliburton first started doing business in Iran as early as 1995, while Vice President Cheney was chief executive of the company and in possible violation of U.S. sanctions. According to a February 2001 report in the Wall Street Journal, "Halliburton Products & Services Ltd. works behind an unmarked door on the ninth floor of a new north Tehran tower block. A brochure declares that the company was registered in 1975 in the Cayman Islands, is based in the Persian Gulf sheikdom of Dubai and is "non-American." But, like the sign over the receptionist's head, the brochure bears the company's name and red emblem, and offers services from Halliburton units around the world." Moreover, mail sent to the company’s offices in Tehran and the Cayman Islands is forwarded to the company’s Dallas headquarters.
It's good to know we've got the big guns looking after us like this.

Haliburton, the military contractor that built the prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and jails throughout Iraq has been tapped to construct detention camps in the United States to be used in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the US, or to support the rapid development of new programs. A contingency in the deal says construction would only begin after an "emergency" is declared. Rep. Bennie Thompson and Rep. Zoe Lofgren wrote a letter to DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff in February asking, in part, what defined an immigration "emergency". Thompson told FOXNews.com that he was unsatisfied with DHS's response, received in a May 23 letter. The letter defines, but does not limit, an immigration "emergency" to "humanitarian interventions, mass migrations, populations rapidly arriving in the United States, and other unforeseen situations." Other... unforseen... situations...
