The (Virtual) Iraq Question

I forgot I had this post in a draft...

This was in Newsweek about a month ago...and I'm planning on writing a larger piece about it, possibly even in defense of the item.

Dan Ephron writes about a videogame being developed that recreates the battle in Fallujah during Operation Iraqi Freedom.

It's definitely a First Amendment issue, and I think I'm OK with this game developer doing this...it's not that much different than the 12,000 World War II games that have been made since "Medal of Honor" first showed us that it was possible to create an appropriate game depicting a real-life horrific event.
