No no, this is looking not good at all!

"Soros's foundation left 'paralysed' after raid"
Posted by Stevie D
Moscow- Fifteen years since it started work in post-Soviet Russia, US billionaire George Soros's foundation has been "paralysed" after 50 camouflage-clad men seized its Moscow offices and removed computer records and archives.

Yekaterina Geniyeva, the head of Soros's Open Society Institute in Russia, told journalists yesterday that the raid, ordered by the building's owner ostensibly because of a dispute over rent, appeared to be politically motivated.

The raid, at about midnight on Thursday, came just days after Soros publicly criticized the jailing of Russian oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky as "persecution" that would force business to submit to the state.

The organisation had lost all information on its 1,000 grant recipients.

So is this why Soros, a prominent member of the Carlyle Group, now suddenly has it in for the Bushes? And, can a relationship be drawn regarding Poppy Bush and his recent visit to Russia to meet with Putin?
