How can anyone blame Paul after listening to this interview. Are you deaf, or just plain stupid. Pete brought a rifle on board, and some of you are blaming Paul? Really? Really? Morons. You lazy bunch of couch potatoes sit there and judge a man who has devoted his entire life to ensuring your children will actually see live whales.This man has my respect and I am going to defend any actions that protect the slaughter of sentient beings.

What double talk! They were towing the Ady Gil to a French Antarctic research base; a distance of 300 miles in calm seas. Watson now claims towing to Tasmania 2000 miles away?

Watson previously stated that the whole expulsion of Bethune from Sea Shepherd for supposed weapons violation was 'legal strategy' to obtain Bethune's release. After that release, they welcomed him back into Sea Shepherd. Why? Because of the uproar from SS and Bethune supporters. Watson never had any intention of keeping his word to the court.

High ranking SS member Laurens DeGroot was on the Ady Gil and must have seen the 100 arrows, yet he never informed Watson of this 'serious violation'? Watson now aslo claims that there was a rifle as well?

Watson was aware of Bethune's testimony during interrogation and at trial before re-admitting Bethune after the first expulsion. What changed? Why let him back in the first time? Watson and SS needed to cash in on whatever publicity they could when Bethune returned to NZ. The whole thing is very fishy and stinks.
