PBS's "The Dark Side" - "If you watch only one documentary this decade"

[swag]

Frontline's The Dark Side airs tonight in many areas.

The Oregonian's TV critic Ted Mahar (sorry, no link to review yet) had this to say:

If you watch only one documentary this decade, make it "The Dark Side." Also, record it. ...

You will want to rewind from time to time to be sure that you really heard what you heard. ...

Tenet, a holdover from the Clinton regime, quickly reported that the World Trace Center and Pentagon attacks were the work of Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaida operating out of Afghanistan.

But Cheney needed to sell the attack as somehow effected by Saddam Hussein.

"Dark Side" details how the weapons of mass destruction fiction was concocted and sold. Some commentators have accused Cheney, Rumsfeld and Bush of cherry-picking bits of intelligence while ignoring other bits that did not fit the scenario. Those who tell the tale here indicate that no cherry-picking was involved. The details were all invented.

When Mahar's full review is posted, it will be at http://www.oregonlive.com .
