The Pentagon is now worried that the massive multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) World of Warcraft might possibly be used to coordinate a terror plot. Yes, we always knew that playing games was a waste of time, after all, “idle hands are the devil’s workshop.” But, now we know just how much of a devil’s workshop idle hands that relax and play games can be.
And, I am in such deep trouble, as a result of this article. In the interest of self-disclosure, I play World of Warcraft. I have two very high level characters in that game. But, I am also Latino, an immigrant, and a mission priest in a denomination that is headquartered in Damascus, Syria. Well, I guess it is only a matter of time before they come looking for me.

Just read the article; why don’t we just give em instructions on how to plot against us? I doubt anyone would use warcraft, there are however a number of free MMO’s that could be financed by the Al Queda and used while others are having fun there could be a guild that actually plots real time terror. Spoooky!
