The Dark Side: Cheney and the “War on Terror”
ø
On September 11, 2001 Vice President Cheney issued an order to shoot down any commercial airliner still in the air after the nationwide grounding. [The 911 Commission report suggests that that order was too late to be of any usefulness.] Recently on PBS, Frontline documented how Cheney pushed through the NeoCon “War on Terror” over the objections of CIA Director George Tenet.
Cursor.org linked reviews that accuse Frontline of overlooking CIA missteps and George Tenet’s own deportment. Frontline definitely mentioned both. Whether they gave them short shrift is a matter of judgement.
The program, which originally aired on Tuesday June 20, is still available online.
