The press is writing this up as "betting on terrorist atrocities".

It is [apparently] connected to Darpa and John Poindexter. Cold reflection might see it as an interesting application of markets and game-theory as policy tool.

"Try to remember it's only a game"

and one for a cross-post to The Spectacle: who's job is it to keep coming up with those creepy illuminati-inspired logos for pentagon projects?
