It goes a bit further than what I reported, GUEST. In using a 135 year old law that hasn't been used but once (1890) to make simple trespassing a felony it sends a real chill to anyone who might want to protest the actions of a corporation or governemnt. It also may open the way for John Ashcroft to get into the internal finaces of Greenpeace. This does not bode well fir a group that is a watchdog for the environment.

As for the killing of a sailor, I am not aware of this incident but it surely is not part of Greenpeace's mission statement or the way they have used non-violent civil disobedience to blow the whistle on those who trash our world to make a buck. Maybe Artbrook's will provide us with the details?...

I would be beyond shock to find that any death occured because of a premeditated plan by Greenpeace to use violence against it's fellow man.
