Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29 (UPI) -- The CIA is developing a video game aimed at helping its analysts think like terrorists, The Washington Times reported Monday.
The agency's Counter Terrorist Center 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.
A critic of the program said: "These absurd ideas about countering terrorism suggest the war on terrorism has been a failure, that terrorists are still ahead and that the CTC does not know what it is doing. The key issue here is the CTC misspending funds on silly, low-priority projects."
CIA spokesman Mark Mansfield defended the video project and called it an "innovative approach" to counter-terrorism. The game will select a scenario that would involve analysts playing terrorist-cell leaders or members, a terrorist "money mover" or a facilitator, he said.
