Nabil Barakat

Nabil Barakat is a "Palestinian American who sits on the Board of Trustees at the University of Jordan in Amman, [and] is a member of Crescent's Board of Governors." 

Note: Given that Barakat is cited as a co-author of the May 5, 2003, National Review Online article "How to Win Iraq's Hearts and Minds. Some ideas for how to rebuild Iraq" with Lt. Gen. James Alan Abrahamson (USAF Ret.) and Mansoor Ijaz, chairman of Crescent Investment Management LLC in New York, it may be assumed that this is the same Crescent Management.
