Navy shows of Terrorist-fighting Dolphins

...well, that's nothing new. The navy has used dolphins for a long time to seek out mines, so this seems like a project that's been relabeled in order to scoop up some Homeland Security funds. Because seriously, how many scuba-diving terrorists were planning to attack the US? Is there a Nemo alliance we don't know about?*

This reminds me of one of the best recent urban legends: the story about Hurricane katrina washing killer Navy dolphins out to sea, where they can run amock and shoot unsuspecting swimmers with paralytic darts.

*If there was, that would be awesome.

Yay dolphins!

My people are good for that sort of thing. :D

I find the similarities between the Iraq fence and what Israel is doing to the Palestinians ironic. Isn't the US comdemning what they're doing? As for the dolphins, I'm not surprised. Flipper can do anything, I saw a few episodes.
