If the latest hurricanes weren't enough to dissuade you from taking a swim in the Gulf of Mexico, this probably wont either. Up to 36 US Navy bottleneck dolphins, trained in such crowd-pleasing skills as underwater espionage and drowning people, may have escaped from their coastal holding facility after it was breached by hurricane Katrina.  But that's not all. They could be armed. Leo Sheridan, a source quoted in a Sunday article by the Observer(UK), says quote: "'My concern is that they have learnt to shoot at divers in wetsuits who have simulated terrorists in exercises. If divers or windsurfers are mistaken for a spy or suicide bomber and if equipped with a special harness carrying toxic darts, they could fire'" A confidential source close to dolphins claims to have spoken to one of the escapees. She tells us that this particular dolphin called her at about 3 a.m. sounding very anxious and upset. Apparantly it kept repeating "The tuna fisherman had it coming", and "We had no idea there were kids on that boat".
