Rumsfeld says the US must ‘win the minds of muslims’
BBC:
The US is losing the propaganda war against al-Qaeda and other enemies, defence chief Donald Rumsfeld has said.
It must modernise its methods to win the minds of Muslims in the “war on terror”, as “enemies had skilfully adapted” to the media age, he said.
Washington and the army must respond faster to events and learn to exploit the internet and satellite TV, he said.
Separately, President Bush said the US should not be discouraged by setbacks in Iraq and must realise it is at war.
There’s probably a lot that the US can do to “win the minds of Muslims”, but “exploiting the internet and satellite TV” aren’t among them in my view
