I have no love for the Japanese doing the whaling and I think the Sea Shepherds are a bunch of hoodwinked young adults led by rabid liberals. Has anyone checked out Paul Watson’s new fake teeth ... LOL.
Seriously though, I thought I heard in an interview somewhere that Watson broke with Greenpeace because of an influx of Communists from the Eastern Bloc and they were not true environmentalists but anti-capitalist subversives. However, I could be mixing up my environmental wackjobs.
And as far as the main issue of the thread: We know they survived...we have the footage of the leak and various helecopter scenes from last week. If they had sunk and drown...they would have disappeared without a trace.
That being said...Watson has to be the worst "admiral" ever. He made a STUPID decision to stear that little ship into a monster storm when he could have easily taken a few hours to stop and refuel them. They were only 60 miles away...their cover was blown and there was NO WAY the jap navy would have tried anything with them. He's an idiot and this is on him.
