Condoleezza Rice had tumultuous relationship with Cheney, memoir says

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was frequently at odds with the views of former Vice President Dick Cheney, according to her upcoming memoir, which was obtained by The New York Times.

Rice wrote that Cheney's staff was "very much of one ultra-hawkish mind," according to the Times.

In one incident which took place in August 2006, Rice and Cheney argued for a number of minutes-while others were silent-about whether or not former President George W. Bush should acknowledge holding terrorists in secret prisons overseas. Bush ended up siding with Rice.

Rice, who was said to be Bush's closest adviser, served as his National Security Adviser during his first term and as Secretary of State during his second term. The memoir, No Higher Honor, deals only with Rice's years in the White House. It is set to be released on Nov. 1.
