IMHO is doesn't change much. They endangered a multitude of innocent lives,
making them no better than the government that they were protesting against.
The fact that they were protesting the nukes may have given them better PR
with the population, but it doesn't wash away the crime they committed. When I
say crime, I'm not referring to written laws, but rather to the act of using
innocents as a bargaining chip.
