"U.S. Army game developers are in the process of creating a statistics-tracking system that can tell how much time a player spends online, how many kills he's made, which battlefields he's best at, how many kills he averages an hour and similar minutiae. "America's Army" isn't merely a game, recruiting device or a public-relations tool, though it is certainly all of those things. It's also a military aptitude tester. And it was designed that way from the start."

"Iranian and US officials have lobbed much public invective at each other throughout the years, producing an *appearance* of US-Iranian enmity. Emperor's Clothes has shown, in a series of articles, that the Iranian fundamentalists and Washington have been covertly allied ever since the mullahs came to power."
