The IPO date was 12/14/01. Try http://www.uniteddefense.com/prod/crusader.html for more info. The Carlyle group is scary, so is the DOD. The DOD gave Global Crossing a $450mln contract last year (just after William Cohen, ex sec. of defense joined their board, Carlyle was an early investor). WCom raised a fuss. The DOD yanked the contract. The SEC opened a WCom investigation this Feb - yet, by April, the DOD awarded the contract to WCom (who still has it).
