"[In] both cases, the mission to 'connect the dots' did not produce the result that, in hindsight, it could have," it said.

He has attacked Greenpeace, an organization he also helped found, calling the group "the Avon Ladies of the environmental movement" because of their allegedly wimpy tactics. Over the years, Watson has come under firearms attack four times, according to his website. In a 2008 Whale Wars episode that some critics have said was faked, Watson...
