I read the article as well. Just because the media wants to cry foul and spout out one interpretation of a law or why it was created doesn't mean that's the only use for it. Granted, every article I managed to dredge up about the incident had only bits and pieces of the whole, none seem to actually mention the name of the law. Did you know that while the two members were boarding the ship the rest of the of group were blocking off the Coast Guard? So I am supposed to believe that all these members of Greenpeace accidentally met up while enjoying an afternoon of boating in a shipping lane and when two of them, drunk and unruly, began to illegally board a ship with a banner that just happened to float by, then the rest of them went into a panic and their boats drifted to the front of a cargo vessel, blocking off the Coast Guard from doing it's duty?
They premeditated this prank, excecuted illegal acts and also put the lives of themselves and others, including U.S. military in danger. My god, that would be a perfect cover for terrorist activities. "Hey Greenpeace, my name is Osama bin La....Bob Smith. There's going to be mohogany (seal fur, elephant tusks, oil drenched otters) on this ship. Please go attract the attention of the authorities while my minions smuggle in WMD..I mean, go protest this so that people will be aware of what a miserable capitalist pig-dog Bush is."
:werd: finally some common sense on this board
