All Hail Our New Dolphinic Overlords

We were never quite able to give them friggin' laser beams, but the toxic dart guns should still do some damage:

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.

One wonders exactly which underwater terrorists they were targeting -- who knew al-Qaeda had gone amphibious? The GWOT is sounding more like a GI Joe cartoon every day...
