Carl:
I believe NPS spokesman David Barna (any relation?) said solicitors from Interior were working with Justice to figure out whether to bring criminal charges as well as civil charges gains the developers.
Sounds to me like folks are putting their heads together to figure out how to throw the books at these creeps.
If a ranger had arrested the guy driving the bulldozer, what would he have arrested him for? ARPA violation? Destroying government property? We all know it wasn't the equipment operator who was the criminal here. Or the construction supervisor. Give NPS a break. Let them figure out who to prosecute and what suite of crimes to charge them with.
In the meantime, inundate Kempthorne with letters. He's Bush Administration, not traditional Park Service. He needs to hear that people care about Resources, not Developers!
I also suggest we urge our representatives in our professional societies to weigh in on this issue as well. Well-written letters from SHA and SAA wouldn't hurt either.

Why didn't the NPS rangers arrest these guys ! ?
You can bet, that if you or I were out at an NPS site digging up bullets
and buttons they would have arrested us before we could blink an eye.
Seems to me that the fault as with on-site NPS law enforcement.
