Controversy in Terrorist Portion of Video Game??

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6238205.html?tag=latestheadlines;title;3

The new Call of Duty (Modern Warfare 2) to be released in just under two weeks has confirmed that there is a skippable section of the game where the player is able to participate in a terrorist act which allows (and probably encourages) the slaughtering of innocent civilians.
Quote from Activision UK's Spokesperson:

"The scene establishes the depth of evil and the cold-bloodedness of a rogue Russian villain and his unit. By establishing that evil, it adds to the urgency of the player’s mission to stop them."

"Players have the option of skipping over the scene. At the beginning of the game, there are two 'checkpoints' where the player is advised that some people may find an upcoming segment disturbing. These checkpoints can't be disabled."

"Modern Warfare 2 is a fantasy action game designed for intense, realistic gameplay that mirrors real life conflicts, much like epic, action movies. It is appropriately rated 18 for violent scenes, which means it is intended for those who are 18 and older." (The BBFC 18 rating in the UK is the equivalent of M for Mature in the US.)

I think this is extremely risky however cannot comment until I have witnessed this portion of the game. It does not change the fact that I want this game. It is in my Top 5 Most Wanted Games.
