Carlyle's
Way Making a mint inside "the iron triangle" of
defense, government and industry, By Dan Brody
Copyright 2001, Red Herring Magazine
"Like everyone else in the United States, the
group stood transfixed as the events of September
11 unfolded. Present were former secretary of defense
Frank Carlucci, [Image] former secretary of state
James Baker III, and representatives of the bin
Laden family. This was not some underground presidential
bunker or Central Intelligence Agency interrogation
room. It was the Ritz-Carlton in Washington, D.C.,
the plush setting for the annual investor conference
of one of the most powerful, well-connected, and
secretive companies in the world: the Carlyle Group."

Melanie Warner

Fortune.com
"One
conclusion seems clear: While most of the conspiracy
theories are amusingly overblown, this is a firm
that's been built on the backs of Bush and other
big shots who have lent Carlyle their names, their
golden networks of friends in high places, and
their insights into how government works. It wasn't
until Carlucci joined, for instance, that Carlyle
really took off."

"By hiring enough former officials to fill
a permanent shadow cabinet, Carlyle has brought
political influence to a new level and created a
twenty-first-century version of capitalism that
blurs any line between politics and business."
