Peter Wilcox, who was captain of the Rainbow Warrior at the time she was sunk, is a long-time friend to my family (my mother was president of the Clearwater organization, and she was one of the ones to hire him to captain the sloop Clearwater, back in '75), though I haven't communicated with him for a while now.

He is one of the gentlest spirits I've ever had the pleasure of knowing; I cannot imagine him involved with any organization that would deliberately or recklessly endanger another.

This is the first I've heard of the version of the story where Greenpeace was responsible for sinking the ship... How long has that version of the story been floating around?

Reminds me of the game "telephone"...
