I remember that discussion too.

Currently, I have a real fascination with the tendency of jihadis to seem to want to play in organized paintball or wargaming activities. I think it telegraphs their future intentions and locations quite nicely.

There were several Al Quaeda arrests in Northern Va a few years back, where an organized terror cell was found to be using paintball activities to help them hone their skills.

Seems like local mosques are even sponsoring paintball competitions as a form of “non violent jihad” to keep their warfighting skills honed as the Koran requires.

Keep an eye on that for the future.

You have GOTTA be kidding! Paintball? I played the game when it first started back in the 1980s. My troops wanted to go play against the civilians for fun. We almost got our butts kicked because the civilians would do things that'd get them killed PDQ in a real situation. So we wouldn't pay more than a cursory bit of attention to the huge danger area and then....sure enough they'd come clumping along in broad daylight right thru the open field....I hope the Jihadis are training that way. Also, I did tend to notice that those paintball guns weren't all that accurate. Maybe that's changed, since 1982.
