Despite grave suspicions of what is on board, Britain and the US are afraid to order interception by naval ships because of fears the crews would scuttle the vessels, each between 35,000 and 40,000 tonnes. If they are carrying chemical, biological or nuclear weapons this could cause catastrophic environmental damage. What kind of bull is this? Out in the high seas is where you want them to go off if they are to go off, right?
Scare tactics or stupid tactics?

Think a little more subtlety. Let a SEAL team limpet-mine the ships from a sub. . . . and they just "disappear". . .
