Greenpeace Learning Lesson From Russia

There is probably few countries where I would rather be arrested and tried less than Russia.  One reason would is that even with the embarrassing decline in traditional constitutional values of our government, rule of law is still far more strongly enforced in the United States than it is in Russia. The other is the Russians don't dick around when it comes to administering justice, they are a hard people with hard ways.  A few activists from Greenpeace are now discovering this fact after foolishly trying to disrupt an Arctic drilling platform and are now facing piracy charges. They could potentially face up to fifteen years in a Russian prison.
