After a delay of nearly a month, a Flagstaff woman accused of being connected with the 1998 firebombing of a logging company in Oregon has been released from jail.
Kendall Tankersley, 28, also known as Sarah Harvey, was released from an Oregon jail Jan. 10 on $150,000 bond.
She is back in Flagstaff, ready to begin taking two classes at Northern Arizona University.
Tankersley, a former employee at the university, was indicted in November by a federal grand jury in Oregon.
She is accused of attempted arson and arson, acting as a lookout, in connection with a fire at U.S. Forest Industries in Medford, Ore., in December 1998.
The fire caused an estimated $500,000 in damage.
She has been accused by prosecutors of being a member of the Earth Liberation Front at the time of the arson. She was one of six people arrested around the country in connection with acts of ecoterrorism.
She is scheduled to undergo an arraignment in U.S. District Court in Eugene, Ore., on Monday.
Aspey ordered Tankersley to be released to her domestic partner, who lives and works in Flagstaff.
Tankersley has a degree in molecular biology and has worked for Planned Parenthood ...

I can't believe they're letting this nasty lady doggy out on the street. And they let her go back to her den of leftist fanatics in Flagstaff. If I was the guy who wore the wire, I would just platz! Why no mention of Tank's partner in crime, Rodgers, who topped himself in the Coconino County Jail a couple weeks ago by asphyxiating himself with a sandwich sized plastic bag. This takes some kind of rabid, fanatical discipline! These characters are some sort of Taliban.
By the way, Rodgers' last known written words were "Yours for a healthier planet." What a twisted schmuck!
(Although I will admit, it has felt a little healthier around here. But now that the Tankster is back, the place is heading back to its usual slimy self.)
Bring out the RICO act and treat her like Sammy "The Bull" Gravanno. She sings or they send her away for 75 years. These people are no better than the mafia and it's time to play hardball.
These folks definitely get around.

Received anonymously by activists in the USA:
NOTE: the hunt has since been suspended
"Last night the ALF paid a visit to Lloyd Harbor Mayor Leland M. Hairr at his
Huntington home. His home was completely covered with slogans in red paint demanding he put a stop the the deer kill set to take place in Caumsett State Park, the Seminary of Immaculate Conception and Lloyd Harbor town park.
Messages showing the publics outcry against the hunt were left on all sides
of the house, including inside the garage. The cars parked in the driveway also received some lovely advertisements for Lee & his partner to drive around with. His dog is more of a sweetheart than a watch dog, you all should know.
We really loved the fact that you kept your garage open all night, it gave
us the opportunity we were praying for. Left behind was a small, but
signficant gift to our special mayor friend. Do yourself a giant favor and
LET THE DEER BE, LEE.
The deer kill is a senseless move and we, the ALF will NOT stand for it.

Not that much needed from what I read. Very low tech stuff. The problem as I see it isn't who is financing it but rather who is teaching them this anarchic crap to begin with. That is the part we finance :>{
"The indictment tells a story of four-and-a-half years of arson, vandalism, violence and destruction claimed to have been executed on behalf of the Animal Liberation Front or Earth Liberation Front, extremist movements known to support acts of domestic terrorism," Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said at a news conference today.
Appearing with Gonzales, FBI Director Robert Mueller declared, "Terrorism is terrorism, no matter what the motive."
"There is a clear difference between constitutionally protected advocacy ... and violent criminal activity," Mueller said.
"I can tell you, these people are thugs," said former U.S. Rep. Scott McInnis, who often railed against so-called "eco-terrorism" when he chaired the House of Representatives' Forests subcommittee.
"The image I'm sure they'll try to present as their defense is that they were Robin Hood saving society from a ski area building a lodge," McInnis said. "And as a result of their actions, of course, the ski area did build their log lodge, but with twice as many logs as they would have in the first place."

Actually, this was on ABC News Channel 7 in the SF Bay Area. The story ran close to 5 minutes! It stunned me so, that I had to Tivo it and call the wife in!
They very much remind me of the Weather Underground of the 1960's. Mostly products of middle class backgrounds who when confronted with the possibility of long jail sentences simply disappeared. We need to come down so hard on this woman the others will have the fear of God put into them. It's not about just burning something down, it's about burning something down in the name of a cause. How soon before a ski lodge full of people gets torched?
Thanks for the ping.
Actually, Channel 5, the Bay Area CBS station ran a very fair balanced section on this last night, 19 Feb..
I never watch the local evening or night news, and I got a call from a younger relative telling me that Channel did a good job.
The section probably ran over 5 minutes, and it never was pro eco terrorist at all. Besides the potential actions in the Sac and N California areas by the eco terrorists, the channel did an excellent job of showing past Alf/Elf acts of eco terrorism.
Last but not least, if any of us were enemies of America and wanted to invest in groups to harm America, ALF, ELF, PETA would be excellent investments. Just a few Opecker Euros converted to $'s could have a large negative impact on America.

In a statement released Friday, Vail Resorts chief executive Adam Aron offered the following:
"On behalf of all of those who have a special place in their hearts for Vail Mountain, I would like to thank and congratulate the many law enforcement bodies who worked so hard over such a long period of time to find the individuals who are allegedly responsible for the shocking Vail arson in 1998."
Great Pictures!
May your hard disk fill up with pictures, names and charges of the Eco Terrorists arrested, and who will be arrested before this year is over.
The suspects in the case - Chelsea Gerlach, Kevin Tubbs, Josephine Overaker, Stanislas Meyerhoff - may be notably short of sympathy in the Vail area, but not everyone is ready to convict them.
One Web site - ecoprisoners.org - provides a list of many of the suspects along with information about contacting them and items they've requested while in jail.

Some of our local green maggots are saying these arrests are example of the misuse of wire tapping by Bush. Now we are targeting activists with legitimate complaints.
This will be another one of those seminal events where we find out how conservative some of the people are. It won't be long until some trolls on FR start defending these eco thugs.
Is it any surprise that she worked for Planned Parenthood?
If anyone died during her "Earth Liberating", she is no better than a Taliban fighter, or an Iraqi "insurgent". (man I hate that word)Send her liberal, hippy, terrorist ass to Gitmo..
