			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Linked in the quote below is a video and write-up from the Huffington Post about a recently Freedom of Information Act released video showing the murder of innocents, including journalists, in Iraq in 2007 by the U.S. military.  I am not sure I have seen a more disturbing example of the similarities between gameplay and screen-based, abstracted warfighting.</p>

Their desire was simply to kill,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Their desire was to get high scores on that computer game.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
