Interesting folk processing there Art. Just to clarify, ONE Greenpeace crew member, the photographer, died in the sabotage scuttling of the Rainbow Warrior. And the culpability is well documented...

Greenpeace does banners, they might do blockades. They are a hugely successful organization largely because they understand how to use the media to provide publicity which helps their cause (with some exceptions, notably the "fundraising scandal" of a few years ago). And they understand very well that moving into the arena of violence would have them quickly vilified and lose their effectiveness.

That particular point was what caused Paul Watson, who favoured more radical "direct action" to break away from Greenpeace and start the Sea Shepherd Society.

Art maybe you should learn more about such organizations before you decide what you don't like? I'm thinking you probably don't like the Sea Shepherd Society, fair enough. Greenpeace is right there with the Sierra Club as a respectable, established middle-of-the-road environmental organization, why would you have a problem with that?
