    Washington Whispers
    5/17/04 
    
    It was the lead item on the government's daily threat matrix one day 
    last April. Don Emilio Fulci described by an FBI tipster as a 
    reclusive but evil millionaire, had formed a terrorist group that was 
    planning chemical attacks against London and Washington, D.C. That day 
    even FBI director Robert Mueller was briefed on the Fulci matter. But 
    as the day went on without incident, a White House staffer had a 
    brainstorm: He Googled Fulci. His findings: Fulci is the crime boss in 
    the popular video game Headhunter. "Stand down," came the order from 
    embarrassed national security types.
