Strategy Page has an excellent article detailing Newsweek’s complete lack of understanding regarding al-Qaeda propaganda, which is an essential weapon in their bag:

Wake up. There’s a war going on — a global war. American lives and liberty are at stake, but Newsweek and its clan are still trying to “Get Nixon.”

Newsweek’s editors haven’t entered the 21st century. Anti-American propagandists — and that includes Al Qaeda — have used Gitmo and Abu Ghraib as emotional/political weapons. Responsible reporting must take that into account. News organizations will ultimately lose credibility if they fail to factor the Al Qaeda propaganda angle in their reports on Gitmo and Abu Ghraib.

The sooner the press stops siding with our enemies, the better off we’ll be.
