One of the stories said it was a high-powered rifle that had to have been shot at extremely close range. The story said there were many shots, one penetration. In addition, the survey shows growing national support for exploration and production of oil and gas in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, or ANWR. 61% now believe that the positives of exploration and production in ANWR outweigh the negatives, up from just 39% in July. biz.yahoo.com

<<I'm still wondering how a bullet was able to penetrate that pipe. >> I had coffee with a guy yesterday who's brother worked in the pipeline. They used T65 pipe that has a rating of 65,000 lb per sq inch instead of the usual T40 that rates at 40,000 lb per sq inch. Both are 3/8 of an inch thick. The shooter used a .338 magnum. That pushes a 225 grain bullet at 3,000 ft per second. Using a full metal jacket bullet like is popular in Africa he had no problem putting a hole in the pipe. His brother turned him in.
