Videogame Character Threatens National Security?

Watchful Babbler writes "Apparently, 'the lead item on the government's daily threat matrix one day last April' was clear and definite: a reclusive millionaire had formed a terrorist group with the intent of launching chemical weapons attacks on Western cities. The White House was notified and the Director of the FBI briefed as the government raced to find information. But then, according to USNews.com, a White House staffer decided to Google for information on suspected threat Don Emilio Fulci and found him -- in a video game - Sega's action title Headhunter. No word on exactly which sources and methods came up with this gem, but word in the E Ring is that Fulci had issued the cryptic warning, 'You have no chance to survive make your time'."

The irony of it all was the Saddam thought he was in defiance. It turns out the scientists for his "Weapons of Mass Destruction" program were robbing him blind. Iraq of late was a giant "Kleptocracy."

The researchers and techs weren't hiding WMD from the UN. They were hiding the complete and utter absence of them from Saddam, lest they and their families be sent to afterlife in the most grisly way Uday could devise.
