1. Morons....their sense of the INTERNETS is remarkably similar to

Ted "Tubes" Stevens! And aren't those Jihadists clever to swagger down to Best Buy and purchase a game???

2. I could have done without that bit of moralizing at the end of the segment

"While made by terrorist's or not, doesn't seem like a game any of us would endorse or let our kids play."

(This is who replaced Ted Koppel?)

This is why I no longer watch televised news. There are plenty of reasons to condemn Electronic Arts, their corporate practice's are the worst in the industry and most of their games are hashed and rehashed crap. But this game is hardly an Al Qaeda trainer. It's a good warfare simulator, graphic but not morbid. It's geared to a teen and older audience, anyone younger probably wouldn't be able to play it. If the newscaster wants to make a moral judgment she should own it, or at least declare to whom this "us" reference refers.
