I remember that. I have absolutely no problem with that section of the game. Its fake violence. Just like fake violence on T.V. or movies which very few people seem to have a problem with.
Aside from that being an issue to me, there were a number of things happening at once with this:
1) Russia banned the game (receiving criticism from the gaming community) due to a long-history of such violence themselves
2) Our post-Sept. 11th issues
3) The game developers and scriptwriters offering half-assed justifications that directly contradicted each other and stood in the face of reality with how the game actually worked.
