I met some French diplomats in Africa shortly after that attack. Their attitude seemed to be that Greenpeace is a menace so the NZ authorities should not have captured the French agents responsible. There was even a suggestion that the agents were only caught because the French advised NZ of their intentions, expecting co-operation(!)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
