Heh if this article is true the US government must to be very desperate and very foolish. It would also be pretty disturbing becouse I for one would not like to have my actions in any MMO to be monitored. I have had many special private moments in an MMO and I would feel very uncomfortable if I was being monitored during those moments like some rat in a virtual cage. |

Wow. I'm sure the terrorists are gathering MUCH information about our country through a MMORPG. I mean, don't they have anything BETTER to do with their time?
Damn those terrorists for playing WoW instead of carrying out their nefarious plots! _________________

Haha, I'm going to tell my boss that in order to look for leads, I need to play WoW too! This is what makes American Spies so awesome. Ideas like this; true innovators! _________________ ______ "We're still flying"

There's no way that terrorists could possibly be playing WoW. If they were, they'd never leave their houses (huts? tents?) and so we wouldn't have to worry about anything being blown up. Maybe the US government should start a campaign to get these terrorists to start playing WoW. The world would be a much safer place. _________________

You've gotta be kidding me....Why would a terrorist waste valuable time and mind space playing an online video game when they could be developing twisted new plots instead?

Exactly my thoughts. If they're playing video games we don't have to worry about them blowing everyone up. _________________ "Your pain shall be two-fold!"

Uji's post make my WoW brain hurt...
But then again maybe it's plausible. I mean I do play WoW... and I'm a Russian spy.

If he did play would Osama really be a level 60 Paladin with Knight Elf Powers? I would think he'd be more lured to the Horde side of things than Alliance. _________________

Why do you think Osama Bin Laden has been unseen for all these years? MMO addiction! He shows classical symptoms of an MMO addict! He was very social and wasn't shy to appear in front of the camera before, but for the past 7 years he's only appeared on the camera two or three times, and nobody knows where he is! He's probably in some basement, controlling multiple characters at the same time. |

To be honest, if I was a terrorist I could think of worse ways to communicate with my fellow terrorists all over the world than by chatting over a MMO. Could think of better ways too. |

Well my implication was that, somehow, Bin Laden is in real life some sort of powerful knight elf paladin. :P
Rumours abound in Britain that Osama Bin Laden was a fan of the Arsenal soccer team and attended several games there in the mid-90's. Fans there have taken to chanting his name in honour of this dubious honour. _________________ One day, I shall come back. Yes, we shall all come back.
