CaP'N GRuNGe Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 "The Dark Side" Five days after 9/11 Vice President Cheney talked about fighting terrorism and stated: "…We have to work the dark side, if you will. Spend time in the shadows of the intelligence world. …" Here, intelligence officials and others offer thoughts on Cheney's use of that phrase, as well as the impact of 9/11 on the vice president.

CaP'N GRuNGe Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 Very good show. Not a ton of new info, but put together very well and chronologically details the events leading from 9/11 to the Iraq invasion and shortly thereafter. Highly recommend it.

CaP'N GRuNGe Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 Steve Coll, the author of this book which i just picked up but haven't read yet, was on the program and seems like a pretty intelligent guy. I'm looking forward to reading the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spain Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I saw about 30 minutes of it and it really looked good. I will try to catch the whole show later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiegie Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Frontline normally has excellent stuff. And they archive their programs online so that you can watch them for free on the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Frontline is by far the best program that PBS puts out in my opinion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
