This new (to me at least ) blog might be of interest.
The war against the terrorists is a war for public perception. It is not a conventional war where the the terrorists are executing a military plan to take and control strategic positions. It is not a war the terrorists can win if the international news media decided one day to stop broadcasting their propaganda.
The victory on the war on terror will be won in the board rooms of every news media outlet in the world. Until then, the military will continue to strive for a conventional victory against an unconventional enemy, and such a victory will only come slowly by way of attrition. But the loss of life and the tragedies of war would be shortened if only the news media would get behind us, and stop providing the enemy with free propaganda.
BUMP to some promising good news.
