CIA pursues video game


By Bill Gertz
THE WASHINGTON TIMES



The CIA is set to spend several million dollars to develop a video game aimed at helping its analysts think like terrorists, The Washington Times has learned.
The agency's Counter Terrorist Center, or CTC, is working with the Los Angeles-based Institute for Creative Technologies on a project designed to help its analysts, "think outside the box," a CIA spokesman said. The project is close to approval, but officials wouldn't comment on the exact cost of the program.
The institute, part of the University of Southern California, works with Hollywood movie and video game specialists.
Disclosure of the CIA video game project follows the Pentagon's recent cancellation of a plan for an online gambling parlor designed to predict a Middle East terrorist attack. The Pentagon's gambling scheme led to the resignation of retired Navy Vice Adm. John Poindexter, head of the Total Information Awareness data-mining counterterrorism program.

Although, I am interested in trying it out.

The Army already is or has been doing just what you mentioned. Only makes sence that other "Defence groups" would take notice and follow suit.

When will it be out on the PS2?


Seriously, why don't they just go to a video store and rent Grand Theft Auto 3?


I'm sorry... just the thought of the CIA trying to think like terrorists...


Why don't they just look at their own track record and go by that?

Virtual World War I

It started innocent enough with defence networks world wide. Soon it became an obsession. Housed deep within U.N. headquarters is the 10x Earth Simulator array. Touting 360 trillion floating-point operations per second it could create any situation on the planet in real-time. As their dying wish, the leaders of today's world asked that their brains be preserved and hooked to the supernetwork.

2121
Nuclear Holocaust laid waste to the planet's surface. The only sign of life was found deep underground where once stood the proud symbol of a new world order.
