PBS Frontline - Dick Cheney - The Dark Side - June 20, 2006

The documentary chronicles how Cheney became the chief architect of the war on terror, emphasizing secrecy, aggressive intelligence methods, and new laws to enhance executive power. After 9/11, Cheney warned that the U.S. would have to operate on the "dark side," carrying out counterterrorism efforts quietly and often beyond public scrutiny. Much of the film focuses on his battle with CIA Director George Tenet over the direction and control of intelligence, especially regarding the justification for the Iraq War.
