Amazon activists come under siege

Three hundred Brazilian loggers surrounded the Greenpeace ship MV Arctic Sunrise on the weekend, egged on by a local radio station that branded them "cowards" if they didn't chase Greenpeace out. The radio station is owned by the mayor of the local town of Porto de Moz, who also controls the largest logging operation in the region, and who offered free fuel and T-shirts to those who joined.
