"Twitter vs. Terror"
Richard G. Lugar, US Senator | January 8, 2010
Texts, tweets, and friend requests are playing their part in what is being dubbed “twenty-first century statecraft.” ++ The US State Department is actively promoting the use of modern communications and social networking technologies to win the hearts and minds of people in conflict and crisis regions from Iran and Pakistan to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. ++ Twitter and the like are winning support for grassroots human rights movements, improving global communication, and even promise to boost developing economies.
