Oil Eating Bacteria could it be used as an economic Weapon?

Guest

I've been looking at this for awhile, and I'm still pretty sceptical, but I was reading an article today about Oil Eating Bacteria and could'nt help but think "What would happen if someone poisoned Oil Wells with this?" I know nothing really about the Science behind Oil eating Bacteria or if it would even cause any damage. It was just a passing thought, what are your ideas on this?

Here's the Article.
