FAHRENHEIT 9/11 -- ILLUSTRATED SCREENPLAY & SCREENCAP GALLERY |

Michael Moore: It owned United Defense, makers of the Bradley armored fighting vehicle.
September 11th guaranteed that United Defense was going to have a very good year. Just six weeks after 9/11 Carlyle filed to take United Defense public and in December made a one-day profit of $237 million.
But sadly, with so much attention focused on the bin Laden family being important Carlyle investors the bin Ladens eventually had to withdraw.
Bush's dad, though, stayed on as senior adviser to Carlyle's Asia board for another two years. _______________ Librarian's Comment: Also maker of The Crusader.
