DARPA'S Wild Kingdom

Weaponized bees, robotic rats, sleepless soldiers; does Mother Nature stand a chance in the face of the Pentagon's new science?

Somehow, after reading this article it doesn't surprise me at all. However, it makes for extremely interesting reading.

Interesting, kind of neat and definitely disturbing. The manipulation of mother nature to kill is a little unsettling. I have visons of hordes of rats "spying" on the enemy.. or worse, on US!
MotherJones is a tad too Left for me in their analysis (and I'm fairly liberal). While I don't like alot of what DARPA does, I figure there are other countries out there trying to do the same types of things. So we better try to stay on the cutting edge.
Good find though. DARPA is a scary organization.

According to DARPA's current chief, some 85%-90% of its projects fail to meet their full objectives.

Typical for a government agency...

Very good article though, great find
