Organizational communication scholars in approaching the war on terror is gaining an understanding of how terrorist networks and terrorist Organizations operate and grow (Stohl & Stohl, 2007). Such an understanding would involve a consideration of how terrorist organizations recruit and socialize their members, how terrorist cells make decisions and develop leadership, how terrorist networks form interconnections through technology and interpersonal contact. But a consideration of the war on terror has also come to encompass military intervention such as the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. Thus, Organizational communication scholars mush also be cognizant of the complex of dealing with military personel and their family during and after their service. The implications of the war on terror for organizational communication also include complex political negotiations with a wide range of government entities and the creation and dissemination of organizational rhetoric to connect institutional goals with public opinion.
