After 9/11, the bin Laden family dropped out of the Carlyle group. I have wondered whether this was related to the allowing the bin Laden family to immediately return to Saudi Arabia after 9/11. I recall that. It was purportedly by mutual agreement that the bin Laden's family separated from Carlyle. Primarily, the Carlyle Group saw participation from bin Laden's family as a PR problem. jttmab

<George Bush Sr. was a partner with the bin Laden family in the Carlyle Group> ___________________________ Junior was in business with them too. More than once. ___________________________ Bush & Bin Laden - George W. Bush Had Ties to Billionaire bin Laden Brood The unexplained death of Salem, Osama bin Laden's oldest brother, in 1988, brought to an abrupt end a long and intriguing relationship between President Bush and the head of the bin Laden family fortune. By Roger Miller The world now associates the bin Laden name with Osama bin Laden, the prime suspect be hind the terror atrocities of Sept. 11. As President George W. Bush leads an intense international manhunt for Osama, few Americans realize that Osama's eldest brother, Salem, was one of Bush's first business partners. A photograph from 1971 has surfaced and been printed in English papers showing Osama, age 14, and his brother Salem, age 19, enjoying a summer holiday at the Astoria Hotel in Falun, Sweden. Christina Akerblad, the hotel owner, told the Daily Mail, "They were beautiful boys, so elegantly dressed. Everybody loved them." Osama embraced Islamic fundamentalism and is now the world's most wanted man. "Salem went on to become a business partner of the man who is leading the hunt for his brother," the Daily Mail's Peter Allen said. "In the 1970s, he and George W. Bush were founders of the Arbusto Energy oil company in Mr. Bush's home state of Texas." more americanfreepress.net
