Armed Dolphins Invade Gulf of Mexico

[Eternalknight]

Here.

"The Guardian is reporting on what may be the weirdest Hurricane Katrina story yet. Military trained dolphins may have been released into the wild by the Hurricane's devastation." From the article: "Experts who have studied the U.S. 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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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 U.S. defence programme claim it is vital they are caught quickly."

Even if this did happen, one I think the dolphins would have been tagged so easy to find for the navy. And two why in the heck would they be kept armed Especially during a hurricane?

And this post swims menacingly towards politics, armed with poisoned darts.

I agree by the way. American military animal handlers would have dealt with these assets appropriatly before "the compound was breached".

Now excuse me. Flipper says my cousin fell off a pier.

Today: dolphins with dart guns. Tomorrow: Sharks with frickin' laser beams!

One need only look to the headlines for good Spycraft adventure ideas.

An Evil Mastermind creates a Weather Control Device to threaten the US with catastrophic hurricanes. The Agency responds by deploying armed, super-intelligent dolphins to defeat the Mastermind in his undersea lair.

Cut off from his friends and family, a new kind of hero takes to the reefs. This summer Dolphin Lundgren stars in "The Punisher 2"
