Rumsfeld says terrorists manipulate media

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Monday he is deeply troubled by the success of terrorist groups in "manipulating the media" to influence Westerners.

Of course Bushco would never resort to spending 254 Million dollars for such tactics.

"They are actively manipulating the media in this country" by, for example, falsely blaming U.S. troops for civilian deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan, he said.

Gee, I guess he means the rapes, torture and murders that US troops have committed are the fault of the media. That would explain why soldiers are targeting reporters and cameramen.

And if these atrocities weren't true then why would Bushco be trying to retroactively change the War Crimes Act?

"They can lie with impunity," he said, while U.S. troops are held to a high standard of conduct.

Speaking of lying with impunity, here's Bush, Cheney and Rummy lying with impunity.

"The enemy is so much better at communicating," he added. "I wish we were better at countering that because the constant drumbeat of things they say — all of which are not true — is harmful. It's cumulative. And it does weaken people's will and lessen their determination, and raise questions in their minds as to whether the cost is worth it," he said alluding to Americans and other Westerners.

The war may be costing us blood and money but Bushco is profiting from it.

Comment from The Vidiot: I have to agree with Rumsfeld on this one. Terrorists definitely do manipulate the media. Of course, that's if you define terrorists as corporations and the Bourgeoisie interests who rape and pillage the economy and the environment, fund wars and funnel money into our political system.
