The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is using YouTube as propaganda to counteract the use of video by the Taliban to portray NATO’s position in Afghanistan as weak.
An article on CNN reads:
NATO is acknowledging YouTube as its new battleground in the six-year war on Taliban fighters in Afghanistan, as the military alliance posts formerly secret surveillance and attack video.
…The Taliban, who are literally cave-dwellers, are doing better than we are on a key battleground — and that’s video,” said NATO spokesman James Appathurai. “They deploy with videographers. We don’t. They have DVDs out in an hour, we don’t.”
