observer.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,6903,1577753,00.html It may be the oddest tale to emerge from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Armed dolphins, trained by the US military to shoot terrorists and pinpoint spies underwater, may be missing in the Gulf of Mexico. Experts who have studied the US navy's cetacean training exercises claim the 36 mammals could be carrying 'toxic dart' guns. Divers and surfers risk attack, they claim, from a species considered to be among the planet's smartest. The US navy admits it has been training dolphins for military purposes, but has refused to confirm that any are missing. Dolphins have been trained in attack-and-kill missions since the Cold War. The US Atlantic bottlenose dolphins have apparently been taught to shoot terrorists attacking military vessels. Their coastal compound was breached during the storm, sweeping them out to sea. But those who have studied the controversial use of dolphins in the US defence programme claim it is vital they are caught quickly. ----- This is badass. Dolphins with military training? We will soon be taken over. Like that episode of Simpsons.

I have a suspicion that they have paranoia that other nations might be able to learn something from the dolphins that would defeat their training. They have always worked under military top secret national security.
Knowing that the hurricane coming was Cat 5, it is not conceivable that they did not disarm the dolphins. If they not remove their battle harnesses entirely. After all they are not FEMA (fact as well as pun intended)

Armed dolphins....america needs a break, and a big one at that... But seriously, dolphins are smart animals, and I doubt they'll be trained to shoot everything moving and looking like a human being if they were armed with toxic darts. this is just another media attention hype thing...bullcrap so to speak. Maybe next thing they'll tell us the dolphins were actually aliens recovered from Area 51.....

I really think that's a hoax. Yeah, dolphins are extremely intelligent and the military has used dolphins and seals to recover lost items and other random things... but as far as shooting... erm... o.O
Dolphins don't even have opposable thumbs ... to shoot... toxic darts...
I think I missed the joke. ._.

LOL, yeah, we Yanks are a walking freak show. Sometimes, I'm not surprised by the things I hear or see... it's sort of expected. The load of stupidity here is discouraging.
