[quote:9020b]I can understand propaganda being used if we were to attack Iraq... but were fighting terrorists here... there is little or no need for propaganda... no one is going to need to have propaganda tell them that eliminating a terrorist organization is the right thing to do... propaganda has nothing to do with this tape... you said it yourself... propaganda is to instill greater hatred to that specific group... even without this tape we still show our hatred towards terrorists and those who want to kill innocent people because of what happened on Sept. 11th... so why in the world would this tape be propaganda???? if you dont understand that you need to lighten up on the freak conspiracy theory crap...[/quote:9020b]

People forget very fast. Hence the need for a "constant refresh", not all
that different from the constant refresh signals RAM needs to properly
"operate". Propaganda has a bit to do with this tape in the sense that it
instills greater hatred for the targeted group; in this case, Al-Qaeda. I
understand that they haven't mentioned names, but the relationship is
suggested and you damn well know it.

Otherwise, people go about their daily business. I do agree with FWB that
while much effort and money is going into stopping terrorist activities, much
COULD be done to help the less fortunate around the world. While we still
wait for results to come from this whole fiasco, consider that the results from
helping others would be immediate. I'm not suggesting that we stop trying;
just that we help save others NOW.

Just a thought.
