In the case where two Greepeace activists boarded a ship heading for Miami carrying illegally harvested mahogany to post a sign which said: "President Bush, Stop Illegal Logging", the activists are being charged under an 1872 law that was enacted to prevent sailors being shanghai'd. The key to why Asskroft is pursuing such a ridiculous line is tagged in a UPI article:
If Ashcroft and company win, Greenpeace will lose its tax-exempt status and have to report activities to the Justice Department.
Watch Greenpeace's animated short: Administration's Most Wanted and take action to have the administration prosecute illegal logging and not Greenpeace.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
