The Guardian has established a science section called Life. It looks good and might help address the gap between humanities knowledge and science knowledge among wimpy social democrats like the present writer.
The Guardian reports:
The dolphins are taught to avoid touching the mines; that job is left to the (human) clearance divers, among whom any mention of the marine mammals causes raised eyebrows. "They can be pretty effective," a diver said last week. "But they are like little kids. You put them in a strange environment and they don't like it. In a couple of weeks, when they have got used to the water, I'm sure they will be great. But at the moment they are causing more work."
Personally I find the idea of war dolphins as bad or worse than the use of war dogs.
