'Dark Side' sheds light on Cheney

If Darth has a light shown on him, will he die or melt or something like that?

'Dark Side' sheds light on Cheney - The Boston Globe:

"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. 'We have to work the dark side, if you will,' we hear Cheney say. 'Spend time in the shadows of the intelligence world.'

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. While many of these strands are familiar, they have not been assembled as effectively before on television to present a coherent picture of what happened after 9/11."
