Federal authorities announced Thursday the biggest eco-terrorism bust in U.S. history, clearing up a series of arsons that plagued the Pacific Northwest from 1998 to 2001.

The U.S. Attorney for Oregon, Karen J. Immergut, announced the arrests of six alleged ecosaboteurs from Portland to New York accused of taking part in four arsons attributed to the Animal Liberation Front and the Earth Liberation Front, as well as the vandalizing of power transmission lines.

The nine-year investigation cleared up, in order, the June 1998 arson of a U.S. Department of Agriculture building in Olympia; the December 1998 torching of U.S. Forest Industries in Medford; the January 2001 arson at Superior Lumber Co. in Glendale; and the May 2001 arson at Jefferson Poplar Farms in Clatskanie.

Authorities also announced they have cleared up the downing of a power transmission line near Bend on the eve of the 2000 millennium celebration.

Arrested were Sanislas G. Meyerhoff, 28, in Charlottesville, Va.; Daniel G. McGowan, 31, in New York; Kevin M. Tubbs, 36, in Springfield, Ore.; William C. Rodgers, 40, of Prescott, Ariz.; Sarah K. Harvey, 28, in Flagstaff, Ariz.; and Chelsea D. Gerlach, 28, in Portland.

Each of the six was charged with taking part in one or more of the crimes.

Karen J. Immergut

Karen J. Evergood? Sounds like the German name of the female lead in a 007 movie from the '60's.

they are trying to help the environment or they are trying to save cute widdow puppy dogs or trees.

Don't be naive. That is just the cover story. They are out to destroy America.

I'll bet they'll have a good time in prison when the other inmates find out what they're in for.

Idiot vegan hippies probably rank only slightly higher than child molesters and rapists in prison.

Because calling it ecoterroism implies that they mean well for "eco" when really they oppose our society. if their intent and actions are terroristic, then just call it terrorism. Cutting power can kill the elderly or those dependent on technology to survive.

An earlier post pointed out successful cases in Oregon, refuting your claim other states would not do the right thing.

Good, I'm happy to be wrong on that point. I worry because Oregon and Washington are very liberal.

Good news. It's only a matter of time before these whackos escalate their tactics to murder.

They'll look real cute in an apron with their Birkenstocks doing laundry and dishes for their cellie named Bubba. You'll be able to pick 'em out in the yard: they walk pigeon-toed and answer to: "Yo, Bubba's B*tch"

Telling me that Celine Dion is still making scads of money brings me terror!

But I don't think she should be arrested ... or maybe ...

Maybe it's time to send 'Delta Force' in to clean the eco-nazis out of Eugene. They are a blot on an otherwise beautiful state.

"Good, I'm happy to be wrong on that point. I worry because Oregon and Washington are very liberal."

Vast land areas of Oregon, Washington and California are conservative. The liberals have the huge population centers.

I seem to note Salt Lake City has a democrat mayor who is a giant pain in the rear?
