This is very disturbing on several levels. First, I agree that selective prosecution is reason enough to condemn this sort of act. More importantly, can a nationwide organization be held accountable for the level of civil disobedience an event encourages? Most importantly to me is the fact that they are a nonviolent activist group that was working to expose wrong doing that we know is happening! Instead of going after the people that illegally importing contraband and contributing to the illegal destruction of the rain forest, this administration would rather prosecute the environmental activist group that is working to bring the former illegal practice to justice.
