| Russians Find Drugs On Greenpeace Ship |
| 2013-10-09 |
| Surprise Meter at 0.0 or a ham-handed plant job? You make the call! MOSCOW -- Russian investigators say they're considering fresh charges against Greenpeace activists who were detained last month for an Arctic protest. The 29 Greenpeace activists and a freelance Russian journalist have been charged with piracy after their September protest at an oil platform. The charge carries a sentence up to 15 years. Vladimir Markin, spokesman for the Investigative Committee, said Wednesday that "dual-use equipment" and drugs were found on the Greenpeace ship, Arctic Sunrise. A wee bit late 'searching' the ship, guys? |

| #12 #11 When you are finished scaring them, let them go. But keep the ship. Use it for fishing once in a while. How'd you like to refresh Drudge some day soon and see Pootie standing shirtless on a floating whale carcass, wielding a flensing knife? Not that I don't love whales, but I might die laughing. |

| #10 I am sure it was planted; they also had found walrus tusk pipes and whale penis bongs. |

| #9 Planted? Well, it's not like Obama and his goons are above such things. What can one expect from the Russians? |

| #8 BBC reported morphine... I wonder if there's a flare gun onboard as well, You can have a pretty nice Fourth of July with a flare gun and a well-stocked first aid kit. |

| #7 The Belmont Club's take is that the Russians are laying down the new law of a World without America, to Greenpeace and to Western European nations. |

| #5 BBC reported morphine, and the Greenpeace spokesperson said it was medical supplies, both of which fit within Occam's Razor. I wonder if there's a flare gun onboard as well, which of course is an incendiary device. |

| #2 Yah, but now we have to sort out whether it's real or a Russian plant when we ask, "Just what sort of drugs were they on anyway?" |

| #1 Ive seen the greenpeace types and I have little doubt they had drugs on the ship. Now I'm not saying the Russians didn't plant drugs either, saves searching time and all that. |
