some good voice of reason stuff.
never been real strong on that meself...but I like it when I see it!

the basic thing I would do, I guess, if I were there and a lot more
competent than I am, would be to somehow photograph the vessels doing
the illegal dumping and fishing, and get with my legal beagles and
publicity flacks to appeal this to ICJ and world media.

I would not kidnap people who hail from the most vicious and
well-armed pariah state in the world.  Especially since that state -
if one can become labeled however inaccurately as "good people" to it
- can (has and does) provide succor and actually do some helpful
things...
including assist in enforcing sovereignty
