"The research team looks at material that's hostile to the United States and to U.S. forces and coalition forces and reports that, and that's the importance, I think, of what the hearing was about," Devlin said.

Yeah, sure---that was the importance. Forget about the fact that it was 110% fucking WRONGO-DONGO. What matters is that they reported it. If I didn't care about getting my job right, and focused on just doing the job, I'd not last 2 days at my firm. Yet, these fuckwads get 7 million bucks to be wrong? And when they get it wrong, do you think they have the humility to admit it? No, they claim that "the important thing is that we researched it and reported it". Motherfucker.

That's bad I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E. Very bad I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E.

It was a bad call, Ripley. A bad call.

It was pretty funny when the FBI found George Michael Bluth's lightsaber video and thought it was a terrorist training tape.

He then showed video from what he called "the advertisement" for a game "made by an American company, but they've created a new trailer and a plug-in, which if you register and send them $25, you can play it."

Somehow I don't see "People who surf the Internet and pay $25 to play a game" as a prime jihadi recruiting demographic.

OTOH I do see how such a game might be interesting:

• Level One: Strap on bomb, enter restaurant, push button.
• Level Two through Ten: Enjoy virgins.
