Ars Technica: Snowden leak examines gaming as a terrorist propaganda and training tool.

Interesting article, about one of that asshole Snowden’s leaked documents. The idea is that video games can be used to train people. I know, shocking revelation, and all, but still… On buddy of mine pointed out that if you can get people addicted to MMO’s they will probably not have the drive to be suicide bombers. I counter that if you want them to become suicide bombers on our side, you crack their WoW or EVE password, plunder their accounts and sell their gear, then tell them that it was Iran.

In this case, though there is a assessment of video game genres and how useful they would be in training the adversary. As anyone who has played these games know, they are fantastic for thinking strategically about security.
