THE LAW IS NOT ONLY ABOUT SAILOR-MONGERERING
It covers just about everything about sailors: wages, treatment of sailors, logbook keeping, you name it.
Sailormongering is in sec 63, illegal boarding is in a different section- sec 62.
I'm disappointed that Turley would tell such a lie.
Boy, they knew how to write a title in 1872!
Arrest warrant issued for Greenpeace in Miami ship boarding
MIAMI (AP) _ A judge issued an arrest warrant for a Greenpeace representative on Monday, after the environmental group and its attorney failed to appear in court on an indictment charging the illegal boarding of a cargo ship.
Prosecutors charged that the group boarded the Singapore-registered ship last year under the mistaken belief that it was carrying contraband mahogany from Brazil.
U.S. Magistrate Judge William Turnoff agreed to stay the warrant calling for the arrest of a Greenpeace representative until Tuesday. The warrant did not specify any particular member of Greenpeace.
Calls to a spokeswoman for the Washington-based group were not immediately returned Monday. The group's Miami attorney was not immediately available for comment.
Greenpeace was indicted two weeks ago on charges that it illegally boarded the APL Jade, owned by Neptune Orient Line, shortly before it docked in Miami last year.
Six Greenpeace members from the United States, Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands settled misdemeanor charges over the boarding. The new charges against the organization carry a possible $20,000 fine plus probation.
Greenpeace criticized the indictment when it was issued as heavy-handed overkill.
Brazil imposed a moratorium on mahogany exports in 2001. Greenpeace says 80 percent of all timber from the Amazon rain forest is illegally cut on land owned by indigenous tribes.
