The first two come from Wired.com’s pretty fascinating Danger Room blog about the world of the military and national security.

• The US is thinking of starting up a special assasination squad – right or wrong (and I lean towards wrong) it would make a pretty fun game.
• While you’re running your assasination squad game, perhaps you could use some interesting spy tools.

It’s not from Danger Room, but the CIA has recently declassified their Manual of Trickery and Deception as well. It’s apparently all about using stage magic for spy purposes, but imagine if it had real magic as well?

This seemed to me to be a veritable font of potential story hooks and idea for any game involving international or idealogical espionage. At the very least the orignal russian notes would make great game props. Check it out.
