	The Carlyle Group : FAQ
		Established in 1987, The Carlyle Group is a private global investment firm that originates, structures and acts as lead equity investor in management-led buyouts, strategic minority equity investments, equity private placements, consolidations and buildups, and growth capital financings.
		Carlyle is a private partnership, which means that it is owned by a group of individuals, most of whom are Managing Directors at Carlyle, and two institutional investors.
		Carlyle engages in management-led buyouts, which are the purchase of companies in cooperation with the current management. A combination of equity and debt is used for the typical transaction. The equity mostly comes from Carlyle’s various funds and other “co-investors” and the debt typically comes from major banks.

		The Carlyle Group was founded in 1987 by William E. Conway, Jr., the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the telecommunications giant MCI, Daniel A. D’Aniello, an executive with Marriot Corporation, and David M. Rubenstein, a former aide to President Carter.

		It is a testament to the brain dead mainstream media that the relationship between the Carlyle group and the Bush-Cheney cartel is not a national scandal.
		But the Carlyle Group was able to mount a very successful campaign by using strategically placed lobbyists, by extending their personal relationships with folks in the Pentagon and in Washington, and by waging essentially a public relations campaign for the gun, and they kept it alive through successive rounds of defense budget cuts ñ miraculously.
