-- Posted by scalywag66 at 4:09 pm on Nov. 3, 2008 Not sure if this would be more appropirate for the gaming section or here World News, but in any event,......... So it's true - there really is a link between violence and video games. In an otherwise run of the mill article on how the next US President will have to deal with the issue of detainees at Guantanamo Bay, the New York Times printed this little nugget: One detainee is said to have been schooled in making detonators out of SEGA game cartridges. Nobody at Kotaku (especially those who frequently travel overseas) has any idea if that is even possible, or why SEGA specifically, but the story seems to originate from the case of Hassan Bin Attash - a seventeen year old (at time of capture) detainee that several human rights organisations claim was tortured in Jordan before being held in Gitmo. Possibly, after a few months of waterboarding a weaponized copy of Toe Jam & Earl: Panic on Funkotron might seem more credible. http://kotaku.com/5075231/al-qaeda-suspects-making-detonators-out-of-sega-cartridges" target="_top">http://http://kotaku.com/5075231/al-qaeda-suspects-making-detonators-out-of-sega-cartridges I better watch out when making my SEGA purchases at the flea market!!! -- Posted by zamrambo at 4:10 pm on Nov. 3, 2008 Hahaha. -- Posted by VanguardofthePeople at 4:10 pm on Nov. 3, 2008 So Sega actually has a use after all? Cool... Al Queda Militants are smart to think of this. -- Posted by BleedingSteelWings at 4:12 pm on Nov. 3, 2008 NO! SOnic! How could you! lol But seriously, that's pretty messed up. -- Posted by VanguardofthePeople at 4:13 pm on Nov. 3, 2008 There was a report a while ago that the Playstation 2 could be used as a weapons system to control missles. -- Posted by Turkies Go Moo at 4:15 pm on Nov. 3, 2008 What's a detonator? -- Posted by scalywag66 at 4:18 pm on Nov. 3, 2008 Quote: from VanguardofthePeople at 4:13 pm on Nov. 3, 2008 There was a report a while ago that the Playstation 2 could be used as a weapons system to control missles. lol I remember that!!! -- Posted by VanguardofthePeople at 4:23 pm on Nov. 3, 2008 Quote: from scalywag66 at 4:18 pm on Nov. 3, 2008 Quote: from VanguardofthePeople at 4:13 pm on Nov. 3, 2008 There was a report a while ago that the Playstation 2 could be used as a weapons system to control missles. lol I remember that!!!
