Rumsfeld Fears Losing War On Islamic Extremism


Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld says the United States and its allies are winning some battles against terrorism -- but may be losing the broader war against Islamic extremism.

Rumsfeld spoke at an international security conference in Singapore before traveling to Bangladesh, a mostly Muslim nation that has denounced terrorism.

He said he fears "zealots and despots" may be turning out newly trained terrorists faster than the United States can capture or kill them.
