Series Description: FRONTLINE is investigative journalism that questions, explains and changes our world. Since 1983, FRONTLINE has served as PBS's flagship public affairs series.

Program Description: On July 15, the US Senate is scheduled to begin hearings on the nomination of Robert Gates as director of the CIA. Hodding Carter investigates Gates's career and the part he played in the Iran-contra scandal.
