If a group of Somali Pirates attacks a vessel of the US Navy, it is an act of war. If Green Peace does it, it's a criminal act. Note that the same remedy applies for both. The military can be used against citizens in a time of rebellion or insurrection, as in the late unpleasantness. Thus, in that case, insurrection is really where a group of citizens surrender claim (by word or deed) to the benefits of citizenship and make war against their country. In this case, we have a right to treat them as any other combatant who makes war against our country. The difference is the same as the difference between an act of war and an act of rebellion.
