Rumsfeld: Terrorists manipulating media
[Quote:]
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Monday he is deeply troubled by the success of terrorist groups in “manipulating the media” to influence Westerners.
“That’s the thing that keeps me up at night,” he said during a question-and-answer session with about 200 naval aviators and other Navy personnel at this flight training base for Navy and Marine pilots.
That’s the thing that keeps you up at night!?
Of all the clusterfucks that have occurred in the last six years, thousands of Americans dead, countless Iraqi and Afghan civilians…this is what bothers you?

He’s upset troops are being blamed for civilian deaths and that this is published. He is clearly in denial about his failures and like all despots wants to squash the opposition. And what about the manipulation of the FOX News sort. This does not seem to bother him.
The fact that the Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney, etc. group can’t control every possible image, news item, and point of view about the “war on terrorism” is what really keeps him awake at night.
