Al-Jazeera is particularly dangerous. I had occassion to watch their English programming while in Thailand recently. "Every side, every angle," they brag, and their production values are equal to BBC World and superior to CNN, IMHO. World opinion is being skillfully manipulated. Most humans now have access to television, and their opinions are shaped by it. The opinions of Americans are shaped by it, resulting in partial regime change here. The bureaucrats of a divided government will never be able to react quickly enough to counter these enemy psychological operations. But distributed information operations by loose networks of civilian information militias, keyboard commandos, and the Civilian Irregular Information Defense Group, using some of the same tactics the muj are using, CAN react swiftly, like cyper-Minutemen.

This begs the question of how ground troops can target video cameras. This is clearly a case of cameramen being equivalent to combatants.

The Muzzies have learned media manip[ulation from their Nazi ancestors. They have learned it well.

Information Warfare is part of the modern battlefield and our side is doing a lousy job of it.

We're Losing the Infowar

With the likes of Newsweek, Time, NYT, CNN, etc., on 'our side', no wonder...

A couple of thoughts here, this media manipulation is effective because we went in with a nation building goal. Therefore, the Iraqi perception of Americans was important.

We should have gone in to win and destroy support for Islamofacist terrorists, regardless of the damage to Iraq and Iraqis.

Iraqis can't be given freedom and democracy, they have to take it, and en mass, they failed miserably. Failures are the most ungrateful.

A goal of removing Iraqi resources from availability to Islamofacists would have made American PR inside Iraq unimportant.
