Virtual War

"In this war of perceptions, the two sides are watching each other carefully and seeking every advantage to sway the Muslim world, which is their target audience." It seems as if writers at the Times were reading 'Virtuous War' along with the class this week. Check out a NYT feature 'Hearts and Minds' that looks at the Info War channeled through Al Qaeda and the U.S. media, "These and other frank communications by Mr. Libi have led intelligence analysts at the West Point center and elsewhere to pore over his videos like Kremlinologists looking for operational clues to Soviet intentions."
