Donald Rumsfeld Proposes Creating Ministry of Truth

"Islamic radicals are winning despite the fact that they blow up mosques, kill women and children and publicly behead their foes," Rumsfeld said.

Then he proposed a solution: to "tell the story of a nation that was carved from the wilderness and conceived in freedom" by means of a "21st-century agency for global communications." Such an agency would respond to the media attacks leveled at the United States by Islamic radicals, using everything "from blogs to online social-networking sites to talk radio," The Air Force Times said.
