let's see this one get there, too. :)

This is different from what I would expect to happen.
To start with, one takes a carrier or some power, then
one modulates its amplitude.  This process spreads some
of the energy into the symetrical side bands--taking
power out of the carrier, thus causing 'downward
modulation' of the carrier, right?  I believe the
Yaesu FT-817 uses this scheme for its AM transmit.  I
think it was described as 'early modulation' of the
signal.  Does that mean anything to you?

How would one modulate a carrier and add power?  I
must be very lost.
