Second Life & WoW Terrorist Training Camps?
Tech.Luver writes "theinquirer reports that 'Aussie Security experts claim that Second Life and online games such as World of Warcraft are being used to train terrorists.
Apparently there are three jihadi terrorists registered and two elite jihadist terrorist groups in Second Life and they use the site for recruiting and training. This is on top of the Second Life Liberation Army.""
Oh noes!
How do you kill...that which has no life?
No seriously, I think I saw a video of them training once(nsfw). They're in yer raids, ninjaing your epic loots.
Some people are so damn stupid. What bearing could this possibly have on real life? The only thing I can think of is that you're increasing the fat, out of shape, cheetoes consuming segment of the terrorist population...Scary stuff. They do enough of this "training", we could neutralize them with a gift of free broadband and some jolt cola.
The only way I'll believe that this is real is if we start getting evidence of terrorist attacks on gold farmers.
ad logicam Claiming a proposition is false because it was presented as the conclusion of a fallacious argument.
And I thought they were trained in those small trucks (Powell showed us) in Iraq. I was wrong. They are trained in the tubes.
This is news... The terrorists have less of a life than we do!
The game.
I thought Iraq was the main terrorist training camp, now that they can use 2nd life instead I'd expect things to calm down there a lot.

If you play wow, you're supporting the terrorists!
Or,
So that's where they kept the WMDs.... In Ironforge!

They'll come to a sticky end, no doubt.

The real question here is, "Is the US Military the Alliance or the Horde?"
And we have the perfect operative for the job. Someone who can blend in with the terrorist and provide this intel.
The only agent for this job is none other than LEEROY JENKINS!

It's true. According to documents recently captured by the CIA, some of the plots they are working on include:
Baffling news today from the West Bank, where officials arrested six terrorists who were attempting to attack a local market. Apparently the terrorists tried to execute their attack by teasing several vicious dogs they found wandering in a nearby alley, then leading the dogs to the market as they ran towards it. Witnesses say that the terrorists ran into the market, waited until the dogs were right on top of them, then attempted to confuse the dogs in various ways. One terrorist wrapped himself in a camoflage cloak and hid behind a fruit vendors stand, while several others simply laid on the ground and played dead. All six terrorists were hospitalized with bite and claw wounds to their face and arms.
Once they get playing they won't be willing to quit long enough to attack in real life.

Sorry, sir. This is terrorhype. Logic and reason is in the next room.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
We must remain vigilant: This could be provide all the training would-be terrorists need to run around buying furry porn, attachable penises, and sparkly glowy rotating particle effects in real life.
Or counter-strike. God help us if they figure out that running with their knives out is faster.

"The only way to win is to make them not want to train." Perhaps by getting them hooked on WoW... Oh, wait.
This is really good news. The military job in Iraq just got easier. Now all the terrorists will be easy to spot. They'll be the ones standing in the middle of the market square holding a big bomb, waiting for 5 minutes for the square to fully render, cursing about lag.
If I knew the wedgies I gave you back in 6th grade would have resulted in this . . . I might have taken a moments pause.
This is on top of the Second Life Liberation Army.

I heard that when they respawn they're surrounded by 72 virgins. You mean they're surrounded by 72 other players?
