A dvd can't infect anything if like any sane person you disabled autorun for external drives (or hold shift I guess), and run viruskiller.
Someone should finally sue damn microsoft for releasing OS's with autorun enabled by default and not patching that, in the 2000's, that's just wilful assisting in a crime isn't it?

I don't know about that, Sylvie looks to be correctly interpreting the Post's article to me...but adding a little of that good old Inq flare in the process.

Read the Washington Post Article again.

One (Green Beret?) soldier reports a problem with his memory stick.
There is NO lappy epidemic!
"guys who watched them on their laptops didn't seem to have problems with them"__ The DVD's referenced in this sentence, have only been identified as locally purchased; not porn; maybe Bollywoods.
The porn reference was presumed from virus-infected Iraqi soldiers' computers, not G.I. stock.

This "rash" inference stands as much as for argument as an assumption that every Captain Tommy Walker's John Entwistle is fit to revelry muster, because the British Army is not US.

You "undressed" this one up, a great deal.

If you want the Washington Post to rewrite it more to your story, they would probably oblige.

Toodles.
