http://www.guardian.co.uk/internatio...327956,00.html
The Carlyle Group, a large investment firm linked to US and British politicians, has pulled out of a scheme to recover billions of dollars from Iraq, following the publication in the Guardian this week of documents detailing the secret proposals of a consortium with which it was involved.
Carlyle published a withdrawal letter yesterday sent to other members of its consortium.
The consortium offered a confidential deal to use its political influence to collect a $27bn (آ£15bn) debt owed by Iraq to Kuwait, despite US pleas for debt forgiveness from other countries.
