Had they actually been shot (which could have very easily happened) before their intent became clear, I doubt negligence could be proven...given today's atmosphere.
Do we then blame Al Qaeda for causing undue paranoia.
Rather difficult to blame people you can't find, for anything really. Let alone blaming some elusive organisation for something.
No I think we should just accept that we are a paranoid species, and that we should attempt our best to live with that... by shooting all the odd people, starting with those who volunteer to be shot by doing stupid things like these volunteers did.

Unlike Al Qaeda, we know who these Greenpeace people are. We can go and shoot them any time we want. :shifty:

Yes; that circumstance goes hand-in-hand with legitimacy, however idiotic it may be.
Perhaps we should pursue Al Qaeda for operating without proper license. :whistling
