"Kayaktivists" Block Departure of Arctic-Bound Shell Oil Rig 
-------------------------------------------------------------


 
The oil giant Shell is on its way to the Arctic, but not before a final
showdown with environmental activists in kayaks. On Tuesday, dozens of
"kayaktivists" were arrested after paddling up to a Shell drilling rig
and preventing it from leaving the Port of Seattle. We'll have more on
the protest with a Greenpeace member who participated later in the
broadcast.
