Excerpt:
Bush's uncle, William H.T. Bush, was among directors of a defense contractor who reaped $6 million from what
federal regulators say was an illegal scheme by two executives to manipulate the timing of stock option grants.

The uncle, known as "Bucky," is the youngest brother of George Herbert Herbert Bush. "Bucky" was an outside,
nonexecutive director of Engineered Support Systems Inc., a defense contractor whose profits were bolstered
because of the Iraq war. ESSI employees and directors received about $20 million in unauthorized compensation
as a result of backdating stock options, according to the SEC.


Remember when they went after Roger Clinton for trying to make money off his brother?
