Ten Years After
The resource extraction and real estate industries' Wise Use provocateurs made it onto CBS 60 Minutes on September 20, 1992. It wasn't until July 1996, though, that their associates--specifically the Anti-Indian/property-rights militia members engaged in manufacturing explosives and machine guns to murder public officials and human rights activists--were arraigned before a US District Court judge in Seattle. On average, they did seven years in the federal pen.
