Greenpeace representatives said they will file a motion at a Miami courthouse today in an effort to have criminal charges brought by the Justice Department dropped. The environmental organization is charged with "sailor mongering," an obscure 1872 antipiracy law, after boarding a ship from Brazil laden with mahogany.

... Critics of the Bush administration see the move as a blatant attempt to muzzle Greenpeace. It's no secret that Greenpeace is not well-liked by the Bush administration. It was the first organization to protest at the Bush ranch. In 2001 the organization hung a banner from a water tower in clear view of the ranch that read, "George Bush, the toxic Texan, don't tread on the planet."
