The rules already allow a player to take offensive action against any character he wishes. Routinely, alliance players transfer artifacts by thefts, allow allies to steal from their camps, influence away pop centers, double an allies characters, etc. Clint, hope you are not substituting your judgement for the players.
I think you've misunderstood. Clint was talking about the Gunboat game - check out the original article in Bree for details. The scenario design specifies that players are NOT allowed to take offensive action against any friendly characters.
