Rumsfeld: U.S. propaganda needs to enter digital age

From CNet News:

The United States lags dangerously behind al-Qaida and other enemies in getting out information in the digital media age and must update its old-fashioned methods, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said on Friday.

Modernization is crucial to winning the hearts and minds of Muslims worldwide who are bombarded with negative images of the West, Rumsfeld told the Council on Foreign Relations.

The Pentagon chief said today’s weapons of war include e-mail, BlackBerries, instant messaging, digital cameras and blogs.

“Our enemies have skillfully adapted to fighting wars in today’s media age, but…our country has not adapted,” Rumsfeld said.
