The Carlyle Group which is a huge banking group with ties to many former world leaders may bail out Conrad Black, the owner of several major newspapers. Black came under intense pressure from shareholders when allegations surfaced that he and several close associates stole millions of dollars that did not belong to them. The Carlyle Group has George Bush Sr., James Baker and John Major linked to it and has managed money for the bin Laden family.
