I'm the staunchest critic of invasion of privacy issues, and will continue to be. But its dishonest to say Greenpeace doesn't share agenda with earthfirst anfd other known terrorists. I used to be of the opinion that the Michigan millitia was a bunch of lawful citizens until McVey proved otherwise.
I still champion privacy, but my side is dishonest if we don't admit there are some bad guys out there. Now, I say freedom's value exceeds the value of safety, and so if Earthfirst blows up a ski resort or Greenpeace jeopardizes the safety of a fishing crew its lamentable but not as bad as living in a police state. To be clear, I'd rather live in fear of unknown terrorists rather than live in fear of a government out of control, and when bad guys perpetrate bad acts, I must accept my privacy stance aided them somewhat. This is where GreenPeace and I diverge. They don't want to accept the consequences for the privacy they demand. Furthermore GreenPeace has engaged in terrorism.
