Arma III Developers Arrested In Greece For 'Spying'

Posted by Soulskill on from the game-developers-make-the-best-secret-agents dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Kotaku reports that two employees of Bohemia Interactive have been arrested while on a photo-tour of the Greek island of Limnos, on charges of spying. The developers were taking reference photos for the upcoming military simulation game Arma III, which is to feature Limnos as it's primary setting, when they were arrested (Google translation of Greek original)."

    >Eh?

    Yes, the OP is right.

    > The Czech Republic is an honored member of NATO.
    Czechosolovakia has won no honors in NATO. http://tinyurl.com/9v6ec6b

    > The U.S. has already sworn to shed its own blood and spend its own treasury to defend it.
    The U.S. has not sworn to shed its own blood or spend its own treasury to defend it. http://www.nato.int/cps/en/natolive/official_texts_17120.htm

    >One NATO member spying on another is none of the U.S.'s business,
    Then in that case your previous statement falls. Either it IS the U.S. and other NATO member states' business in which case it IS the U.S.'s business OR it's none of anyone else's business in which case the whole falacious comment about blood and treasury (false as it is) is inapplicable.

    >except for the diplomatic pressure...
    Yeah you made that up for your convenience. I've shown you the NATO charter. Please
    demonstrate where it says any of that.

    Such rabid conflictory justification of "The US Must Shed Blood and Treasury" but oh wait "It's none of the US business" but wait "The US should exert diplomatic pressure."

    I see the horns waggling and I'm not stepping in your words.
