What is interesting about volko is that he was the the deputy head for terrorism in the middle east for the CIA during the bush era. The CIA claimed it was a time when they were pushed unwillingly into providing bad analysis and shonky evidence to support the neocons worldview. So when in 2010 volko designs a game where muslim states that are not pro american are necessarily pro-terrorist, a key part of the justification for the attack on Iraq - its pretty clear that there were resonably senior CIA analysts who were hard core neocons and remain so.
