U.S. Opposes Money for Troops Jailed in Iraq
By PHILIP SHENON
Published: November 10, 2003
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9 â The Bush administration is seeking to block a group of American troops who were tortured in Iraqi prisons during the Persian Gulf war in 1991 from collecting any of the hundreds of millions of dollars in frozen Iraqi assets they won last summer in a federal court ruling against the government of Saddam Hussein.
In a court challenge that the administration is winning so far but is not eager to publicize, administration lawyers have argued that Iraqi assets frozen in bank accounts in the United States are needed for Iraqi reconstruction and that the judgment won by the 17 former American prisoners should be overturned.

Monday, November 10, 2003; Page E04 The arrest of two of Russia's top
businessmen in recent months was more than a distant headline for Washington's
well-connected private equity firm, Carlyle Group.Carlyle, known for the glittering
roster of former statesmen among its partners and advisers, has ties to both
Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev, the jailed Russian tycoons.Khodorkovsky, 40, Russia's richest man and former chief executive of Yukos Oil Co., serves as an adviser to Carlyle's Energy Group. He is among 15 luminaries who help the firm sort through investment opportunities in energy industries, along with former secretary of state James A. Baker III, former British prime minister
John Major and Pulitzer-Prize-winning author Daniel Yergin.Khodorkovsky was
arrested last month by Russian authorities for alleged fraud and tax evasion....Meanwhile, the
firm has lost the services of its most prominent associate: former president
George H.W. Bush, who was senior adviser for Carlyle's Asia funds, retired last
month, shortly after serving as the main draw at a dinner in Moscow to woo
investors.

Billionaire Soros takes on Bush
Ousting president âcentral focus of my life,' he says
by Laura Blumenfeld THE WASHINGTON POST
NEW YORK, Nov. 11 â ÂGeorge Soros, one of the world's richest men, has given away nearly $5 billion to promote democracy in the former Soviet bloc, Africa and Asia. Now he has a new project: defeating President Bush...."America, under Bush, is a danger to the world," Soros said. Then he smiled: "And I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is."....
   ÂSoros believes a "supremacist ideology" guides this White House. He hears echoes in its rhetoric of his childhood in occupied Hungary. "When I hear Bush say, âYou're either with us or against us,' it reminds me of the Germans." It conjures up memories, he said, of Nazi slogans on the walls, Der Feind Hort mit ("The enemy is listening")
