Reversing radicalization through anti-terror ‘psychological warfare’
TUESDAY, OCT. 28 Frontline: The Rise of ISIS (PBS, 10 p.m.) How did ISIS become a household word? This time last year, almost nobody had ever heard of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, the jihadi group recently labelled a “network of death” by U.S. President Barack Obama. In proper PBS fashion, Frontline presents the first in-depth investigation of ISIS and rewinds the group’s rapid ascent from ragtag radical group to become the planet’s pre-eminent terrorist target. Veteran reporter Martin Smith interviews several Iraqi politicians and U.S. military experts, including former U.S. secretary of defense Leon Panetta. As for the danger ISIS presents to the public, consider the view of counterterrorism expert Ali Soufan: “This is one of the first terrorist groups saying, ‘We’re not going to hit and run and we’re never going to participate in politics as you know it. We actually want to kill everyone who disagrees with us,’” It’s a chilling report.
