Second Life and World of Warcraft Infested With Terrorists
MMORPG's have a distinct advantage to them, in the way you can (supposedly) escape reality and live as a completely different creature in a different world. However, this ulterior world attracts more than just people trying to escape life's harsh realities. Games such as Second Life and World of Warcraft have reported several instances of cyber-terrorism. In some instances, Australian police have found evidence that terrorists are using these virtual worlds to recruit terrorists and train them. Experts on the matter say that "terrorists are rehearsing their operations in Second Life because they can't practice in the real world". Experts also notice that terrorists "can gain training in games such as World of Warcraft in a simulated environment, using weapons that are identical to real-world armaments."

Nah, I think it's more likely that you're John Kerry's illegitimate son.
As for the topic...I'm not surprised, and I have no qualms believing it's true.
WoW is a haven for mentally ill reality escaping lunatics - anything is possible.
Second life is a haven for socially ill reality escaping lunatics - anything is possible(and apparently a large portion of Second life members are gay...lol ... ok).
