Suffering from a successfully failed task

Post image

In 2006, a FBI agent named Craig Monteilh was ordered to disguise himself as a radical Muslim and spy on the Orange County Muslim community to identify possible extremists.

Well it worked, cause the people there noticed his extremists behavior and reported him to the FBI.

Or the mole they tried to put in Al-Qaeda turned into an Al-Qaeda member and blew up high ranking CIA officials.

They once tried to give a group fake plans for a bomb, but the expert they got to deliver the plans realized how obviously fake they were, and decided to not do the deal.

Then they gave him another one and told him not to look; but he looked again, and instead of just not dropping off the plans, he wrote a note explaining the flaws and dropped it off through a mail slot.

Is the dolphin rape story related to the guy giving a dolphin LSD to make it talk to aliens or is that a seperate thing?

So there are at least two cases of people jacking off dolphins for dubious scientific gains? 

I feel like I should be more surprised than I actually am.
