Unlike Lindh, the Portland
Seven never actually saw battle.
The six male members traveled
to China in late 2001 but failed to
gain entry into Afghanistan. Most
returned to the U.S.
Five of the six men eventually
pleaded guilty to conspiracy
charges and the one who did not
return to the U.S. was killed in
Pakistan. A woman who remained
in Oregon and wired money
pleaded guilty to money laun-
dering. Sentences ranged from
three years to 18 years.

Gas Pipeline across southwestern

The $7 billion project is led by
Calgary, Alberta-based Veresen Inc.
Final commission approval is
expected by the end of this year, with a
notice to proceed from the commission
by the middle of next year. Developers
have said gas is not likely to begin

The projects were initially envi-
sioned for importing natural gas into
the U.S., but development of gas
deposits in the Rockies created an
abundance of the fuel that pushed the
projects to switch to exports.

milestone and represented three years
of work.
Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyoming,
urged the U.S. Department of Energy
to quickly approve the project.
“The administration has given
communities along the Gulf Coast and
East Coast the opportunity to access
overseas markets,” Barrasso said in a
statement. “It must not leave the West
behind.”
The 230-mile pipeline route from
the farming town of Malin east of the
Cascades just north of the California
border to Coos Bay has been opposed
by private landowners and conserva-
tion groups. It crosses rivers, mountain
ranges and a mix of private and public
lands.
Lesley Adams, head of the Rogue
Riverkeeper conservation group, said
the state of Oregon still has to decide
on a Clean Water Act permit for the
pipeline, and if FERC approves the
projects, a coalition of landowners
and conservationists plan to take legal
action to reverse it.
“It’s clear to us there are adverse
impacts to forests, streams and
species,” she said. “One of the big
problems with the project is water
— raising temperatures and sediment

The port facilities to be built include
a shipping channel, berths for LNG
tankers and tugboats and refrigeration
facilities to turn the gas into a liquid.
Scientists say the site could someday
be subjected to a magnitude-9.0 earth-
quake and a 50-foot tsunami from the
Cascade Subduction Zone.
Federal regulators said the port
facilities must be built to withstand

line route.
The commission must negotiate
with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
and NOAA Fisheries Service over
how the projects might harm protected
species, such as the northern spotted
owl and salmon.

Sage grouse provision

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) —
Congress has failed to advance
a measure that would have
blocked new land-use plans
meant to protect a wide-ranging
Western bird, the greater sage
grouse.
The sage grouse provision
backed by Republican U.S. Rep.
Rob Bishop of Utah had been
approved in May by the House
as part of a $612 billion defense
policy bill.

Wednesday the measure was left
