Judge dismisses Ashcroft attempt to shut down Greenpeace

That was quick -so Greenpeace USA survive the government's legal challenge to them -on a technicality; which is a shame because it'd have been nice for them to get off because they were [a] peaceful and [b] whistleblowing a violation of US law as it says here:.
"Greenpeace USA Executive Director John Passacantando stated 'The conduct for which the Ashcroft Justice Department seeks to prosecute Greenpeace was, essentially, whistle-blowing -- publicly exposing and preventing violations of U.S. law prohibiting the importation of illegally harvested mahogany wood.'"
