arstechnica.com — The video was apaprently spotted by US officials, who understood it to be propaganda used by Islamic militants. Perhaps the content wasn't the only reason it was identified as such, however. As it turns out, the video was made by a Battlefield 2 fan named SonicJihad.

U.S. Officials can suck my balls... Yes, I am American and living in the United States, but I just don't care about the U.S. "Officials".

Is this by chance the same story in TWiT 53 that talks about terrorists using Battlefield 2 to train people?<a class="user" href="http://twit.tv/53">http://twit.tv/53</a><a class="user" href="http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2006/05/05/islamic_extremists_use_games_to_recruit/">http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2006/05/05/islamic_extremists_use_games_to_recruit/</a>

hahahahahahahaha I saw this story on msnbc on Saturday. I f**king knew it was too good to be true. I even thought to myself while I was reading the article that the MEC army looks like "terrorists" by default, no modding required. The media is a f**king joke at this point.

I'm no Bush fan, but if you think he has anything to do with this, you're an idiot.

>>"There is something wrong about the war on terrorism."You just realize that?

Reporting as inaccurate. No where does the author of the blog article bother to prove that the US gov't actually mistook the video for terrorist propaganda. All we are getting told is that they did, but where are the news articles or US gov't military releases that state so?
