For example, activists admitted to setting fire to equipment and pipeline valves in an effort to stop construction

There are many other reasons that can kill you under the law besides anarchy, one of those is climate change and GP definitely has a very valid point.

Clearly the 'drill-baby-drill' crowd doesn't like Greenpeace at all and is doing what they can to muzzle activists because they know that if they manage to squelch Greenpeace then many lesser funded organizations will not be able to do anything all all. But history doesn't give a damn about any of that.
