Although, I think Assange's assertion that the ISIS "grey zone" strategy "...is working splendidly..." is a bit over stated, it's important to understand the mechanisms that make such a strategy viable. Hysterical and bigoted reactions are predictable, no doubt. And it's of little surprise to hear Conservative leaders in the US and France call for intolerance regarding Syrian refugees and Muslims. What's more surprising, and a cause for concern, is the part the news media plays, specifically in the US, to enable fear mongering and bigotry.
