You are right, this set's a horrible presidence that will inevitably lead to more wrongdoings and carelessness for the law by the Tirbe, watch and see.

I don't know about you guys, but my gut feeling was that this was pre-concieved, and that the good old boy club at the tribe just went through the motions on this one in order to put it behind them. I truly don't beleive they ever had any intention to do anything to the 5 illegal whalers...

Actions...louder than words.
