7 Greenpeace Activists Arrested in Anti-Drilling Protest
--------------------------------------------------------



In other oil spill news, seven activists with the environmental group
Greenpeace were arrested Monday in a direct action oppose offshore
drilling. Two of the activists scaled a drilling supply ship that’s set
to sail from Louisiana to Alaska for an exploratory offshore drilling
operation run by the oil giant Shell. Using oil taken from the BP spill
in the Gulf, the activists painted a message on the bridge of the ship
reading, "Arctic Next?"
