Greenpeace Trial

This is so fucked. Bush takes Greenpeace to court.

The trial begins on May 17th, and results from a protest against an illegal shipment of mahogany headed for the Port of Miami in Florida two years ago. Unable to find a suitable law against calling attention to environmental crimes, the Attorney General has charged Greenpeace under an obscure 19th-century law designed to stop prostitutes from boarding sailing vessels.

Tell Bush and Ashcroft to prosecute illegal loggers, not Greenpeace.
