U.S. using old law to prosecute Greenpeace BY CATHERINE WILSON Associated Press MIAMI When the wavetossed Greenpeace activists boarded a container ship off Miami Beach two years ago, they didn't know it could lead to prosecution under a 132-year-old law aimed at keeping boarding houses from luring sailors to shore. In a tactic the group has often used to make a point, the activists attempted to unfurl a large banner on the ship to protest what they saw as the Bush administration's inaction on a ban on Amazon mahogany imports. In a trial starting today, federal prosecutors will dust off an 1872 law aimed at preventing "sailor mongering" to seek the first conviction of an advocacy group over its protest techniques.

The environmental group, a staunch critic of the Bush administration, and others see the case as an attempt to silence political dissent. "Never has anything like this been done and it's particularly suspect in light of the mission of Greenpeace," said attorney Maria Kayanan, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union. On April 12, 2002, three miles off the coast of Florida near Miami Beach, the crew of the APL Jade stopped two Greenpeace climbers before they could unroll a banner saying "President Bush, Stop Illegal Logging" on 1 the ship, which carried 70 tons of mahogany that Greenpeace believes to be contraband. Individual Greenpeace members were prosecuted immediately. In an unprecedented move, prosecutors indicted the organization itself 15 months later on misde-.

meanor charges illegal boarding and conspiracy. A conviction could be punished by five years of probation and a $20,000 fine. fred Chamlee, 96, of Anniston will be Tuesday at 11 a.m. at Forestlawn Gardens Mausoleum Chapel with Elbert Lewis officiating.
