Description

Opponents of Canadian oil say they have been contacted by FBI investigators in several northwestern states, such as Washington state, Oregon, and Idaho, following their involvement in protests that delayed northbound shipments of equipment to Canada's oilsands.

A lawyer working with the protesters says he's personally aware of a dozen people having been contacted, and says the actual number is probably higher. The investigations are apparently not criminal, but just to learn about the anti-oil sands movement.
