"As an indication of the increasing intellectual infrastructure the jihad is acquiring, and the growing sophistication of its ideological defense, forum discussions are focusing on the need to develop more professional media capabilities. The call comes at a time of increasing pressure on mujahideen to maintain the public relations war, given the rising controversy over the targeting of civilians in Iraq, and the negative response to high-profile errors such as the toll of Jordanian Muslims in the November 9 Amman bombings."
