Heads up. PBS Frontline: "Dark Side" Sheds Light on Cheney
Tonight on Frontline.

"Frontline" delivers a devastating look tonight at the efforts of Vice President Dick Cheney to gain control of the war on terror after 9/11. In doing so, the show purports, he compromised the integrity of America's intelligence system.

"The Dark Side" is riveting television, heavily reported, that exemplifies what "Frontline" does best: go inside a major story and give us context. The title is a ripe double-entendre that applies both to Cheney and the turf on which the war against terrorists is fought."

"To many, Cheney is the dark side of the Bush administration, and this program will only cement that judgment. "Frontline" chronicles the brutal campaign by two consummate political in-fighters - Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld - to decimate the CIA, politically emasculate Secretary of State Colin Powell, and construct a near-limitless concept of executive power during war."

3. Yes, must see TV. Gotta look at Cheney, though, so have antacid at hand
Maybe America's worst warmonger ever. Nice legacy, Dick.

the Bu$h Admin is cutting $150 million of the PBS budget.

The repubs have no love for shows like:

"Who stopped the electric car" Big Oil.
Gore: "An Inconvenient Truth" Global warming
"Dark Side" Sheds Light on Cheney. <--nuff said

Edit: That's just in the last week!
At least these people can not be bought and controlled! GO PBS!
