"Both the U.S. Customs Service and the FBI are investigating the apparent
transfer of large numbers of Sony PlayStation 2s to Iraq, according to
military intelligence sources.

A secret Defense Intelligence Agency report states that as many as 4,000 of
the popular video game units have been purchased in the United States and
shipped to Iraq in the last two to three months.

Two government agencies are investigating the purchases because the
PlayStations can be bundled together into a sort of crude super-computer and
used for a variety of military applications, say intelligence sources. "
