You illegally and unwantedly boarded a vessel... far as I am concerned the captain and crew of that ship should have shot you on the spot for piracy and dumped your bodies overboard for those on shore and your wacko buddies to see....
Boy, you are confused. I didnt board anything. I hate Greenpeace. And if the captain shot the protestors, he may have been able to justify it before a jury, but he didnt so the point is moot.
But Ashcroft charging an organization with sailor-mongering is undoubtedly an attempt to get back at a political enemy through means that abuse the power of his office, just like the political IRS auditing of World Net Daily during Clintons reign of terror.
