How Al Qaeda Uses the Media   May 11, 2006

A document discovered by U.S. forces in Iraq shows that Al Qaeda in Iraq is depending on the media — including OUR media — to win the war.

The enemy document states, “The policy followed by the brothers in Baghdad is a media oriented policy without a clear comprehensive plan to capture an area or an enemy center. Other word, the significance of the strategy of their work is to show in the media that the American and the government do not control the situation and there is resistance against them.  This policy dragged us to the type of operations that are attracted to the media…” Aside from the media, Centcom noted in a press release that the document also indicates that the terrorists lack leadership, capability and support.

This is why the power and influence of Al-Jazeera must be exposed. The media are directly responsible for inciting the enemy to kill Americans and Iraqis.
