re: Greenpeace labelled as "security risk" and "unpeaceful": This is another systematic hypocrisy. The anti-war and environmental movement, in the U.S. and throughout the West, almost universally follows Gandhi's principles. This includes Greenpeace. They practice and preach, and constantly train their members, in the tactics of nonviolent protest. The Authorities they oppose, like the Bush Administration, are the ones using violence. Greenpeace members are assaulted, and have been killed, their ships are denied the right to enter ports, by exactly those governments that pretend to be the champions of equal justice and peace. Yes, you can find a few, a very few, tiny splinter groups that engage in violence. Even then, the violence is directed against property, not people. It is pure propaganda, to make the false generalization and say they represent the entire environmental and peace movement. It is the Bush Administration, not Greenpeace, that is the real security risk to the world, and the real champion of UnPeace in the world. This is what most Europeans now believe: euobserver.com
