In reply to the discussion: Say whether you support/oppose the Keystone pipeline before Obama gives you the right answer [View all]truedelphi

TransCanada, the Canadian corporation behind the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, is providing
security briefings to Nebraska authorities warning them to look into the application of
anti-terrorism laws on people who oppose the pipeline despite the fact that no Nebraskan
has committed a crime in the state in their efforts to stop the pipeline.
Bold Nebraska obtained TransCanada documents from the Nebraska State Patrol through a
Freedom of Information Act request and was alarmed to discover what they describe as efforts
to build distrust between Nebraska police and citizens who have organized to oppose the
pipeline which threatens their air, land and water.
Its outrageous that a foreign corporation would come into our state to sow fear of
landowners and citizens, said Jane Kleeb, executive director of Bold Nebraska. Every
meeting, rally, and action that we have done in Nebraska has been peaceful, non-violent and
lawful.

BTW, when Obama was in San Francisco about a month ago, he said that he will be approving it to help "poor people who can't afford it if energy costs go up." (San Francisco Chronicle carried the story.)
Hmm, guess he's still for us poor people and probably still "for the children." But someone needs to explain to him that this pipeline is not going to offer help to Americans - the product is going through teh Pipleine, and then will be sent off to some foreign country.
