Russia detains Greenpeace 'activists', considers piracy charges

An interesting article on the BBC website, Russia accuses Greenpeace crew of 'piracy' in Arctic. The article seems to be more careful than usual, employing neutral-sounding language and mostly just reciting the facts — though this is probably only because sympathetic leftists will already be outraged that the Greenpeace thugs were hindered at all, given the supine response that is usual when they target western or Japanese operations.

It seems that the Russians are going to charge the activists with piracy. Hopefully they will also consider declaring Greenpeace a terrorist organisation and penalizing companies that deal with them (e.g. banks) and individuals that donate to them (e.g. swivel-eyed leftists).
