"In Fahrenheit 9/11, Moore makes nine allegations concerning the Carlyle Group.[64] Moore focused on Carlyle's connections with George H. W. Bush and his Secretary of State James Baker, both of whom had at times served as advisers to the firm. The movie quotes author Dan Briody, who claimed that the Carlyle Group "gained" from the September 11 attacks because it owned military contractor United Defense.[17] A Carlyle spokesman noted in 2003 that its 7% interest in defense industries was far less than several other private equity firms.[65] Carlyle also has provided detail on its links with the Bin Laden family, specifically the relatively minor investments by an estranged half brother.[citation needed]"

Just look at the wording on that! Some of the citations also lead to 404 errors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:4BB0:5330:2470:9F9B:3F1D:D589 (talk) 00:04, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Yemen dispute

Moving this sentence from Scooter Braun to this talk page for now, since the underlying article is about Carlyle.
