What's a lie  is the propaganda you put forth, like this: "Those behind the pipeline have had to navigate a minefield of regulations and government delays. In each case, they have cooperated." The truth is Bakken "light crude" is one of the most toxic crudes found on the planet. Nobody talks about that. A spill of that would be devastating. 

What you also don't bring to light is that Energy Transfer Partner'sDAPL's operating company, Sunoco Logistics has the 2nd worst spill record according to PHMSA with spills in Ohio, PA, and VA. DAPL has no spill plan and it is a complete & utter lie that response to a spill couldn't happen in their claimed 14 minutes. DAPL has no license to enter Tribal lands should a spill occur & the spill migrate. And NO HDD in the entire world spans 7500' under a fresh body of water.  DAPL won't reveal its spill plans to the Tribes, hiding behind "matter of nat'l security" when even the Dept. of Homeland Security says it is not. 

You're whitewashing this.
