I just watched the video stream provided by the news
website.  The katu news spokesperson said the U.S. Forest 
Service has described this as an act of eco terrorism.
There was no explanation about why the USFS said that. 
 
I guess the eco-terrorists don't realize that wildlife 
also uses the river. 

Right now, the water levels are low and exposing
many of the spikes that will be under water when the 
levels return to normal.

A whitewater paddler interviewed in the video expressed
his concern about this cowardly act (cowardly being my
word) spreading to other rivers.
