Exposed: The Carlyle Group

Unlike most of my other posts, I purposely prevented the title from being clickable because the page from Information Clearing House, has an imbeded video file. This file is in Real Video format, 28 mbs large, and lasts appoximately an hour. Some of you may not like clicking on something like that without knowing what it is first.

I'm on dial-up myself, but still chose to download and save it for later. I was not disappointed. This video goes into some of the people who are profiting from Iraq, by profiling the Carlyle Group. There's very little to read on the page itself, and as the video is of Dutch origin, the first minute forty seven seconds is in Dutch, with a translation of that segment on the page. The rest of the show is in English. Here's an excerpt of the translation:

On their payroll are people like : George Bush (Sr.), James Baker III and old premier John Major.

The Carlyle Group is a private investment bank which doesn't come to the publics attention very often but it is one of the biggest American (ed: USA) investors of the defense industry, telecom, property and financial services.

What is the Carlyle Group? Who are the people behind the name? And how much power does Carlyle have?
