NY: Two Protesters Arrested for Blockading Spectra AIM Pipeline
---------------------------------------------------------------

In Peekskill, New York, two protesters were arrested Wednesday after
police extracted them from a shipping container blockading the
construction yard of a gas pipeline. Spectra's AIM pipeline is slated to
run only hundreds of feet from the aging Indian Point nuclear power
plant. Lee Stewart and Jane Kendall had locked themselves in the fully
sustainable shipping container to blockade the pipeline's construction
just after dawn on Wednesday morning. They have been charged with
disorderly conduct, trespassing and obstructing government
administration.
