Because I don't see the CIA / FBI / USA mentioned at all in this article and believe that these raids took place completely in Europe / not America, I'm going to go ahead and assume that the raids were not at all a product of Bush and his all-seeing eye, but I could very well be wrong, it just seems unlikely. This thinking comes from the fact that I'm not seeing this report on any of the major American news outlets.
