Lene — Paul Watson’s thuggish antics are well known and documented, so the Guardian‘s decision to honor him is beyond inexcusable. For more, see former CEI Brookes Fellow Neil Hrab’s 2004 profile of Watson and his ship-ramming gang and the Endangered Species episode of Penn & Teller’s “Bullshit!” — in which the hosts (well, Penn, at least) have some choice words for him (and in which CEI adjunct R.J. Smith makes an appearance).

Thanks Ivan, I sent the Guardian a correction notice, as they claim he has never been prosecuted. He has actually been convicted for violating the territory of the Faroy Islands repeatedly (http://www.vg.no/nyheter/utenriks/artikkel.php?artid=7557843). I also tried to find the stories in the bombing, but the online archives that are available on the web does not go back to 2000.
