Pentagon Develops Brain Implants to Turn Sharks into Military Spies...
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines06/0302-03.htm

'Although both Cold War superpowers have trained sea mammals such as dolphins and killer whales to carry out quasi-military duties, this is probably the first time the military have seriously considered using fish.

The Pentagon hopes to exploit the ability of sharks to glide quietly through the water, sense delicate electrical gradients and follow chemical trails, according to New Scientist magazine.'

5. Another crackpot convinced the military to fund his project
Happens all the time. Just like the MK Ultra garbage or the astral projection crap. The military has its share of gullible idiots who get their projects funded just like the fools who'll buy the latest bigfoot video.
