Senate report concludes: no proof of contact between

A friend of mine just sent me an article via email about the connection of Prescott Bush and George Bush Senior with german Nazi war criminals. They were apparantly one of the main forces behind getting nazi's to the US to work for things like the CIA and in research.
This is the first time I heard something like this (although it doesn't surprise me a single bit as you might guess).
Does anybody know more about this?

Define war criminal.

Werner Von Braun worked on V2's. He then worked on the US space program.

Albert Speer was a minister in charge of industrial coordination, he got to sit in Spandau prison until he died.

"The rockets go up,
Who cares vere dey come down,
Dat's no my department"
Says Werner von Braun."

PS: the CIA didn't exist until after WW II. It grew out of the OSS, a branch of the Army working spy and espionage stuff, as well as support to resistance movements during the war. The founder was Colonel William 'Wild Bill' Donovan.

Since the US went from war with The Third Reich to 'cold' war with the Russian Empire/Soviet Union in short order, a practical decision had to be made: do you want to win, and hire on some sharp folks with shady pasts, or do you want to lose? At the time, the ends justifies the means wasn't an irrational approach to take. It looks different now. It is important to recall that German Nazi's and Americans typically agreed in general sense that the USSR as a threat, and that communists in general were a common political enemy. If you check US rhetoric in the late 1930's, the red baiting was considerable. Of course, so was support for communists among artists and trade unionists. The doomed support of the Republican cause in Spain was a blow to American liberals.

I don't think Prescott Bush was an American liberal.
