NATO Ready to Wage YouTube Warfare?
As my friend Glen Jenvey mentions in this interview, the Taliban's use of YouTube and other online outlets to post videos (for instance this one released today) is key to their recruitment strategy. NATO and the U.S. have long ignored or underestimated the value of enemy propaganda. But no longer. NATO is announcing that it will release more footage from Afghanistan.
Watch the entire CNN video here. I especially love how the brave mujahideen of the Taliban dress as women and post small children in front of houses where they meet.
UPDATE: Looks like Howie also mentioned this yesterday, here. In my defense, I've got the flu.
