Be careful who you frag. Having eliminated all terrorism in the real world, the U.S. intelligence community is working to develop software that will detect violent extremists infiltrating World of Warcraft and other massive multiplayer games, according to a data-mining report from the Director of National Intelligence.
The Reynard project will begin by profiling online gaming behavior, then potentially move on to its ultimate goal of "automatically detecting suspicious behavior and actions in the virtual world."
Really?? Are you shaking your head right now as much as I am? Could our government, the United States freakin' government, really be data-mining MMORPGs and online games to look for possible terror suspects? I am just stunned by this whole thing.
Here's the whole story from Wired.

I guess now that we've found Bin Laden, the government can go after other things.
Oh... Wait!
