Second Life & WoW Terrorist Training Camps?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the you-gotta-be-kidding-me dept.

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.""

  1. Wow... how disappointing Aussies are by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I remember Aussies used to have this rugged, manly-man mystique going on. But ever since they've started peeing their pants and crying like little sissies at every spooky scary little thing... they really seem like wimps.

    Like America's conservatives (and especially "Young Republicans"), Aussies now seem like some of the most emasculated and effeminate men in the world. Honestly... is there anything on the planet these guys AREN'T terrified of?

    I am not sure why you got modded funny because this would be exactly what the US government would do. For example current patriot act allows you to tap a phone indefinitly if a suspect has used it even once.

    As for WOW/SL. I can't see how that would help at all. If anything they would get better training in Americas army.
