Commenting on the aptitude of the Sea Shepherds based on what you see on TV is ridiculous. You are not watching facts. You are watching hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of footage edited together for the greatest dramatic effect. If all we saw was constant perfection, there would be no conflict. No conflict = no drama = no TV show. What is a FACT is that several dozen people spend MONTHS sailing the most inhospitable waters in the world waging a VERY dangerous campaign that HAS reduced the number of whales killed ever year, i.e., success with objective, i.e., making an actual difference - and every member of the Steve Erwin crew has returned from every campaign safely. Not bad for a bunch of volunteers. Hardly an "inept" feat. As to the "terrorists" vs "freedom fighters" debate, it all depends on whether you genuinely believe that the Japanese whalers are conducting necessary "research," or if they are taking advantage of ridiculous loopholes in the IWC Convention so that they can make a lot of money off people who like to eat whale meat. I personally believe the latter.
