See AP report at Google "Greenpeace: Japan's Whale Kill Halted"
Pay particular attention to whaing defender (paid by the whaling interests, of course) Glenn Inwood's claim that people can't expect a certain level of decency from other people.
"It's time the public saw this fringe group for what they really are: environmental imperialists who are trying to dictate their morals to the world."
Okay, so Mr. I, I guess you're saying that if people want to blow up things and kill people for fun and terrorism we shouldn't stop them. We wouldn't want to impose our morals on anybody else, would we?
In the New Zealand Herald ("Rival groups keep whalers on the move"), Greenpeace reports that they have chased the whalers out of the hunting grounds. But apparently both the Sea Shepard ship, newly christened the Steve Irwin, and the ship put out by the Aussies govt., the Oceanic Viking are still playing catch up. BTW, either the Herald journalism crew knows something that we don't or they missed what we read earlier, because they say that the "Viking" has the heavy machine guns on it. The Aussies assured us weeks ago that they neutered their ship weaponwise before it left.
