Kirk obviously doesn't NEED permission from the Federation (or, for that
matter, the Klingons or Romulans) to use the Guardian.  He will do it
anyway, if he wants.  If I were Starfleet, I wouldn't trust Kirk to drive
a car, much less pilot a starship, and I certainly wouldn't let him fool with
the past.  I too think that using the Guardian would be wimping out.  It 
makes a mockery of the concept of facing death in STII:TWOK.

I think the new movie should be a at least partially (say fifteen minutes)
a Kirk-takes-on-the-universe-with-only-his-close-friends-to-support-him
type of film.  Then while the jury is out deliberating, the Jim Kirk fan
club can break him out of his cell and help him escape in the Klingon ship.

If he runs with his cloaking device on the the Guardian planet, he will have
some hope of getting to it before they catch up with him.

By the way, who or what is omne?
